Dead or grown-ups now for sure.  

We all applied (and were accepted) more than ten years ago.  But we didn't know yet.  Blogging was still cutting edge technology, and André 3000 wouldn't give us "Hey Yeah!" for 6 more months.

It's 2013, and I have a brilliant and beautiful daughter named Annabelle.  She was born on Halloween of 2008, which makes her just about four years and five months old.  Last month she was accepted to the most competitive and amazing kindergarten program in North Carolina. By age cohort she shouldn't enter kindergarten until in the fall of 2014, but Durham Academy thinks she should start this coming fall instead.

My name isn't even John Owens-Ream anymore.  I legally changed it in 2010.

I have a brilliant and beautiful wife named Nicole.  We own a condo in Durham, along with two dogs, a cat, and an 4-foot iguana.  I promise we're not nearly as grown up as it sounds-- but occasionally I suspect we are.  I'm not sure which I hope to be true.

Nicole and I sort of eloped last year, but we're planning a large regular awesome wedding and I'm inviting every single reasonably remarkable one of you,

because ten years is a long time to grow up, but this blog is still here (and so are we somewhere).
