pushing the trash
As soon as he learned how to walk, Toren started finding new toys, namely, our trash cans. We’re not sure why he likes doing this, but he pushes our trash cans all over the place now: Luckily we keep them fairly clean and empty them regularly. So far we haven’t had any major messes as…

back on TV
Toren, Debi, and I were on TV here in Tampa last night. A reporter stopped by to get a comment on how things have changed in my neighborhood since they shut down the pain clinic behind our house. Here’s the clip:

Toren’s doppelganger
Below is a quick video from our Oregon trip. The hotel had mirrors on the closet doors. Toren noticed his doppelganger in the mirror one night and decided to have a go with him:

Toren’s first introduction to swimming was a few weeks before this at a swimming pool in our friends’ condominium complex.…
