Spent part of this oppressively-warm day on the Isle of Palms, sitting on the long, lovely beach, kicking waves, relaxing, and watching the Hobbit play happily with his grandmother — who has thankfully given us a respite from some of our parenting duties.

It was truly wonderful.

Of course, I also played with the new iPhone while I was there (raise your hand if you’re shocked, eh?). Put in charge of the New One for a bit, I sat in the shade and answered some business email (mostly Paper Golem stuff). Quite awesome. Then, just for fun, I tried to take a picture of myself and the wee bonny bairn using the device’s camera. One of my first phone-camera shots — and certainly my first trying to aim at myself — and it was not very successful:

Still, it was a good day. And tomorrow Sherry and I will continue the joy by seeing a movie… alone… in the theater.  When the heck was the last time we did that?!?

Thanks, Mom!
