One major reason for me to blog is to send something over to my parents to read while they are in China. I’m pretty sure they don’t use rss feeds and it seems the best way to get them to this site is to send them periodic reminder emails that this blog has been updated.

In response to the latest email my mom writes:

Basil’s big toes are shaped like chicken nuggets. I just find them fascinating because I’ve seen no other toes like his, though from what I hear his dad’s toes are the exact same way. My feet are no less strange and are “lovingly” called chimichangas as they resemble medium-sized stuffed burritos. But I can appreciate my chubby feet and Basil’s funny looking toes as small quirks that are a part of who we are.
