Tilda's two front teeth, the stolen laptop continued

Two teeth, make that two teeth.  Tilda's two front teeth, bottom, are coming in.  They've broken through the gum, or so it feels that way.  What a great kid.  We can't wait to take pictures of her with those little teeth.

Having recently lost my laptop to an airplane thief, I am in a graduate school limbo.  Should I wait to see what the insurance will do?  Do I just go buy a new computer?  Do I wait 4-6 weeks to find out if it is in the airline's 'warehouse'...4-6 weeks?  Sounds more like a 'where'?-house.  Ughh.  I do computery-climatey modeling sorts of things with calculations and what have you.  Not a lot of sample running or field work, so my computer is integral to the completion of my dissertation.  We have a pc desktop at home that operates very slowly and it does not have the software I need, but at least I can blog on it and write into a document on it.  But, the research will not happen on this machine.  I think I need a new machine.  Too bad blogging does not actually pay.  Alas, grad-student parents, living the dream.  Tilda's teeth are a testament to the dream.
