Twins on Tour
This is a home video of my twin girls and not intended to be professional. I made it for friends and family who haven’t seen the twins in a while. And since it’s largely friends and family who read my blog, I thought I’d post it here. The footage is from a couple of weeks before and a couple of weeks after our epic journey from Chicago to Chongqing, China, for an extended visit with the in-laws. Work has brought me back to Chicago, so I’ve been away from them for a few weeks. Hence the choice of song.

Foul Matter
“Foul matter” refers to the versions of a book that have been superseded by revised versions or by the final thing. Basically, once the book is finished, all previous versions are “foul matter.
Quite a term you’ve created there, Publishing Industry. I approve.
Here is the most recent “Foul matter” from the book I’ve been slaving over.
And because this post would not be complete without a pun on “foul,” here is a fowl matter.
In case you’ve ever wondered how Chicago pigeons keep warm.
