The Times still feels that we reporters should be writing blogs as well as our usual articles and features.
We had a busy night the night that my darling wife Trina toppled Thomas Leman off his position in the Chess Tournament ranks. Because not only was there an intense chess game.
But we also had a big birthday party for both the kids.
We invited lots of our friends like Ollie Mayweather and Alicia Longshore Frio.
And had some of our neighbors invite themselves.
First to have his birthday was our son Rock.
He is a promising young toddler. My hair, Trina's skin tone.
A few more of the guests, Autumn Portobella and Jane Bachelor - co workers of mine.
Then it was the turn of our little princess.
Nicole Sw0rd. We never did work out how she got that hair colour but we like it.
