Sara Is Dining with Squirrels

September 7, 2008 7:40 PM | 2 Comments

Last year I bought a little gift for my wife, Sara: a domain name and free web development services. Two days ago she used it for the first time, writing about the kids going off to school in her brand-new blog, Dining with Squirrels. It was well worth the wait.

Sara has the enviable gift of being able to write with the effortless grace of a figure skater. There is nothing forced, nothing strained in her prose. I could read it for hours without growing tired. And that's not just because she's my wife.

Read Don’t ask me what I’m doing now that my kids are in school.

That is very cool. I have just started to feel a bit of those emotions as Mia started preschool last week.

Just curious why you chose WordPress for her over your preference of Movable Type?

Hey Josh, thanks for reading.

I chose WordPress because I wanted to get something up there quickly for her, and my web host (Dreamhost) has WordPress as a one-click install. I'm not married to either Movable Type or WordPress. (I am married to Sara, though.) It's good to keep my "skillz" fresh with both platforms.

I'm terribly sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the commenting system. I'm trying to track down the source of the problem and fix it. In the meantime, if you receive a "Comment Submission Error" due to an "invalid request," would you mind posting the comment on the contact form instead? Just include "Sara Is Dining with Squirrels" in the subject field. Thanks for your patience.
