A girl on a carousel
One of those pictures that turn out great through no skill of the photographer.

Someone is 6 today!
How do they grow so fast?
A sunny snowday
A few pictures from our snowy neighborhood in today’s brilliant sunlight. The snow is apparently not sticky enough to build a proper snowman, so we ended up with this interesting creature. The youngest, of course, have the most fun when it’s two dozen feet of
В поисках Мессии
Продолжая воспоминания, последний раз затронутые здесь, ещё одно неплохое выступление. Год 2004-й, тема праздника “Выборы Мессии”. Тут я с особенным трепетом отношусь к тексту. Переплетение революционных и еврейских понятий получилось тогда, по-моему, просто феерическим. Так и хочется похлопать себя по спине. Get the Flash Player to see this content. Правда, если память не
Father’s Day
This Father’s Day my children presented me a small gift that I have to share with everyone. It’s a record of my fatherhood credentials. Click to embiggen. I am not big on celebrating these commercialized occasions but I wish all fathers everywhere to have received something cool from their kids.
Пандора и Эпиметей
Это 2002-й год, одно из первых наших выступлений на традиционных тематических вечеринках в дружеском кругу. Темой тогда была древнегреческая мифология, нам выпало задание изображать историю Пандоры, которой в пару был привлечён значительно менее известный Эпимeтей (Wikipedia расскажет вам миф о Пандоре значительно ближе к первоисточнику, чем мы.) Это выступление остаётся одним из наших самых лучших,
Потому, потому что мы пилоты
Вот так мы вчера выступали на вечеринке под названием “Все работы хороши”. Нам кажется, получилось неплохо. Реплика из зала в конце видео относится к широко известному факту, что муза вдохновения меня чаще всего посещает в душе. Так оно и есть.
Ukulele
In between of consuming vast quantities of food during the Thanksgiving dinner at my parents’, Becky showed me a few mainstream chords for her ukulele. Turns out it’s not very complicated. I am practically a virtuoso.
Emily
It has been a while since I featured this young lady here. From a recent playground outing.
I can eat
As I mentioned in this post-business-trip entry, there are few better ways to impress your relatively new colleagues than to order a huge mixed-grill plate at a fancy restaurant and polish it off on your own. One of the aforementioned colleagues took before-and-after pictures of that epic meal but kept forgetting to send the pics

Kimmy and Emily’s Halloween sketch
By popular demand, here is the sketch taped for the annual kids Halloween party, starring Kimmy and Emily. Apologies to my non-Russian-speaking audience – this is entirely Russian in content.
Making faces on camera
Kimmy finds ways to make her little sister occupied – why not make a short video together?
Kimmy’s movie production
For some time now, my middle child has been entertaining herself with making short movies using her webcam and the basic video-editing software installed on her PC. She asked me to put up her latest “trailer” here on the blog. Enjoy! Get the Flash Player to see this content.
Pictures from Kimmy’s birthday
I lack patience to create a proper gallery album with pictures from the recent celebration of Kimmy’s Bat-Mitzva, so instead I am just posting a small selection here. You may have already seen a couple of them on Facebook, posted by our photographer. These are primarily pictures of us. Those of the guests who were
Father-daughter waltz
The quality is the basic home-video variety, but that should not prevent you from giving me your “Ooh”s and “Ah”s. Get the Flash Player to see this content.
Kimmy, from baby to 12 years of age
Demands of varied kinds did not leave me much room to flex my artistic muscles in advance of the Bat-Mitsva celebration that Kimmy enjoyed this past weekend. I only had time to quickly string together a slideshow of 150 or so pictures that charted her growth from a little baby to the Amazing Tween that
Prom
Last Friday was the senior prom night for our eldest. Here are a few pictures taken during the photo session prior to the dance. No commentary is truly necessary.
