Brunch at the Radnor Hotel, October 16

It's supposed to be one of the best brunches in town with 3 enormous tables of vittles, omelettes made to order and live piano music (though the piano is painfully out of tune). There's even a chocolate waterfall (think Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas) in which to dip your strawberries and donut holes and plenty of extra parking for your Graco Stroller. This last feature is important since babies seem to take up more room than a table full of adults. Come to think of it, the ratio of square footage of Harvey's "gear" and accoutrements per body weight by far outweighs his parents' respective stuff/body weight ratios. And while we are on the subject of ratios, I have recently learned that the daily intake of breastmilk intake for the newborn is the equivalent of an adult consuming 5 gallons of fluid in one 24 hour period! Joe has calculated that Harvey's weight gain during this past month is the equivalent of an adult gaining 30 pounds in just a few weeks. Come to think of it, just about EVERYTHING that this baby does is writ large: crying volume, fart volume, drool and spit-up volume, amount of laundry per week, etc.
