		<description><![CDATA[Soon after a baby is born, the nurses perform a hearing test. The test involves attaching electrodes to baby&#8217;s head and testing for brain response to audio stimuli. It&#8217;s not uncommon for babies to fail the initial test due to fluid in the ears and other potential factors. Isla failed the first test, so we [...]]]></description>

Today is my first Father&#039;s Day as a new Dad.  Still feels weird to type that.  It will be kind of a &quot;hands-on&quot; Father&#039;s Day, with a lot of diaper-changing, feeding and staring.  Isla is several years away from giving away artwork in the medium of elbow macaroni and construction paper, so we&#039;re just going to hang out and enjoy the day.  Patty framed several of the new family photos for me, so they are now in a prominent location in my studio.  I wouldn&#039;t have it any other way.

Speaking of my studio, I managed to record a quick little piece this morning.  I was working with some of my orchestral samples and I whipped up a little 3-part tune with Piano, Cello and Viola.  The whole thing took a little over an hour and it runs 1:43m.  Since I didn&#039;t want to waste valuable Father-Daughter-Wifey time, I simply named it &quot;Trio.&quot;

Happy Father&#039;s Day!</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[Elisabeth spit up on me for the first time today.  I haven&#8217;t had another human being spit up on me since my Confirmation, so the events of earlier today came as a peristaltic stroll down memory lane.  The strange thing is that I didn&#8217;t mind, not really.  It&#8217;s absolutely true; when it is someone you [...]]]></description>

All right, here&#8217;s the lengthier and slightly more disgusting version:  This past Sunday [...]]]></description>
