My ovaries were bored while my brain was editing high-tech press releases, so I got them all riled up with a video. It’s bedtime with Ford and his folks, sometime in the recent, pre-surgical past:

I’m particularly fond of the self-referential triangle between Ford, the camera lens on his left, and the mirror in front of him. He’s out to beguile them all, himself most definitely included.

What also strikes me is how young he looks here, how much less crackling with curiosity he seems at nine months versus ten (although he seemed ultrasonic back then, ungovernably abloom). Of course, he’s wearing seven league boots, developmentally speaking, so every day’s a new frontier to discover; he’s manifest destiny with diapers and drool. I can’t quite keep up with him; I’m the east coast, already mapped and settled, while Ford’s a tiny pioneer.

Head west, young man, and I’ll follow behind, marveling at your locomotion.
