Good things for November
1 - Won a door prize at a meeting. I gave it away.2 - Voted. Also, dinner at Bodo's.
3 - Took Jonah for his first two rides on CAT buses and my first swim class with him.
4 - Special mission driving my boss downtown in a bus so she could measure something.
5 - Amanda and Jonah came and rode around UVA on the 22-year-old bus I was driving! Four buses in three days!
6 - Dinner at one of the many new upscale pizza places. So upscale that they baked a piece of paper into Amanda's pizza accidentally.
7 - There was a nice crowd for the choir's presentation of Rutter's Requiem, including my parents and some friends.
8 - Jonah slept in, mercifully, after a rough night.
9 - Beautiful day, with bright yellow, orange, and red leaves on Jonah's first hike riding in a backpack carrier.
10 - Jonah tried eating Stars ("baby crack") again and didn't gag on them this time.
11 - I got way too excited at a city bike committee meeting.
12 - Finally sort of finished a draft of a big report at work.
13 - Crisp autumn air: we went for a walk in a nice neighborhood.
14 - Envisioned the future of transportation.
15 - Dinner in lovely Buchanan, Virginia, at the historic Burger King.

16 - Rode an articulated bus from Blacksburg Transit back to the hotel. And Thai food in downtown Blacksburg. And brief swim before bed.
17 - Family time with Amanda's grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousins.
18 - Turned off the engine on an Interstate highway for the first time in my life, I think. And the second, and the third. (We were stopped due to a blasting zone.)
19 - This day was basically like having a one-day work week.
20 - Had some good playtime with Jonah.
21 - Jonah kept pulling the phone book out from its hiding place, which caused me to look inside it, where I found a coupon for Belmont BBQ that expires at the end of the month.
22 - Jonah pulled himself to standing, sort of. Not sure if this is a good thing, but there it is.
23 - At work, I received a proofing sample of the red stars that will be stuck on our bus shelter windows.
24 - I was not the most stressed-out person at work.
25 - Thankful for someone to watch the parade with. Finally.
26 - After a false start due to a poopy diaper, we made it from Charlottesville all the way to Nokesville without a pit stop.
27 - We helped my parents decorate their Christmas tree.

28 - Lunch with friends from far away, plus we put up our own tree.
29 - Installed Jonah's new car seat... it's hard, realizing that he has already outgrown something so major as a car seat, but it's exciting to think about the trips we'll take in the new one. Also, we used the aforementioned Belmont BBQ coupon before it expired.
30 - Last day of the month, but a day of firsts: Jonah pulled himself to standing purposefully and repeatedly. He had his first ride in the new car seat. His first sixth tooth began to appear. (You can never have a second sixth tooth.)
