Today I heard my child’s heart beat for the first time. It’s strong ! Here is a recording (mp3, 357kb)

Here is the second, more ambitious, Super 8 we made in 1984. Just a few months after the first one. We named it ” Te Deum”. (15min)

I just received a DVD from my old friend Milan. It’s an amateur 8mm movie we made in Belgrade in 1984. I was 20 at that time. (4min)

Pictures made by Arturo Duarte, Margaret Tilden, Desko Radisic and Rania Bossonis.
Also, a short video by Laurie’s brother, Mark Buenafe.

I’ll add more as the time goes.

I went crazy today with all the running and preparations. Hotel lost reservations for the guests who are coming from out of town and almost all rooms were booked. Fortunately all went well at the end.

I am a slow reader. I measured my speed. I read 50-60 pages an hour. That’s around or below American average.

My biggest problem is vocalization. It’s very hard for me to stop trying to pronounce words as I read them. If I can have a visual picture of the subject, it’s a little bit easier but not always possible.

Did I mention I am getting married ?

This is my love Laurie. She is wonderful.

I was feeling a little stunned at first but now I am feeling quite relaxed about it. I think our life is going to be good.

I hate traditional ceremonies, but we still need to invite our families. So we came to a compromise. We’ll have a pirate wedding on a sailboat ! I already reserved my costume at Costumes On Haight.
