Here it is the end of January. It’s been rather eventful, and it isn’t over yet. Lessee if I can remember what went on. The BIG news is that we had the baby-what an amazing and intense experience THAT was. He’s named Mathias Winfield, and he’s healthy and hungry (6#7, 19″, 1/23/99 2:30, L.A-for those who like that stuff). He’s really cute-I’ll post pics when I get my scanner up. We had a bit of a scare, too-Erika was starting to push & the boy’s heart rate dropped alarmingly-we rushed to the hospital-and for the next 5 hours it only dropped when Erika was having contractions. It turned out to be that he had a very short umbilical cord which stretched when she pushed and slowed his blood flow. Anyways, everything turned out OK, and we have a baby! I am SO tired and have been for the past week. It’s also been hectic at work-two separate installations are going on at the same time-I’ve been working way late-not good on Erika, but lucrative (well, sorta lucrative.) What else-saw Koyaanisqatsi at Royce with the Glass Ensemble playing-it was really good. Visited the studio-messing with my computer-Ken wants his old one back-it’ll cost him some $$$, though. Saw Baraka, too-really good-definitely see it if you can. Cleaned out the attic-dirty and tiring, but more stuff for the sale, and a lot of trash.
My exciting life, this place
