Somewhere over Cape Town

Baby has always been an adventurous traveler, which is the perfect foil to Herman's cautious nature.  In South Africa, his most recent trip, he went paragliding. A GoPro video captures his infectious delight as the guide suddenly increases the speed by harnessing the wind over Cape Town. Casual observers will interpret his squeals as adorable joy. Herman knows better the near-mania that lies beneath.

Give me a monkey scarf!

Tonight, Baby interrupted his Sonicare tooth brushing to demand a pocket-sized Hermes scarf with a "whimsical design of monkeys playing." He pointed his finger roughly on the table to drive the point home: the monkeys must be playful, not serious. Unrelated, but indicative of his mood, he insisted that Herman's slippers were fluffier than his and ought to be traded.

Fortunately, he has moved on from such challenging topics and is asking his puppy if he needs to go potty. Though Herman hasn't posted on this blog in a few years, Baby's antics are remarkably consistent.
