So Google News is really a pretty cool page, but a bunch of the articles it links to don't go directly to news articles, but instead to registration pages where I'm expected to provide demographic information (sometimes detailed) in exchange for that particular paper's editor's slight rearrangement of the AP's single-sentence paragraphs written at a third-grade level. Uh huh. (A-and if an article can't be visited directly by clicking on a link in a web browser, in what sense is that article on the web, precisely, which is what Google indexes?)

horse.jpgThe baby just learned to sort of crawl, and it looks like the picture at right. She kind of drags one leg, refusing to lean on her knee and instead using that foot. The result is a compact, lopsided limp. This picture originally came from The Onion and was captioned "Inspirational Disabled Horse Crosses Preakness Finish Line After 11 Hours", so now I get to deal with feeling guilty about finding ths picture so funny every time I see the baby crawl. It's hard being me.
