I'm a week behind, so I don't know if you'll even see this comment, but I had to say something about the Triba concept. I know that in some cities (like Portland) you can have short rental office space (like car-share for offices). Triba takes it WAY further. A few of my friends and I who all work from home have talked about starting up some kind of office-space coop, where we could have a meeting, work with other people working around and not have to see the laundry that needs to be done, etc. And to have quality child-care connected to it, total icing on the cake.

I'm so glad this idea is sort of in the works, even so far from me. It almost makes me want to switch careers and start one here in the SF area.

Thanks for pointing out more interesting things each week. You're both such a great resource for parents!

OK, so I'm WAY behind to, but I was hoping for a link to the story you mentioned about pretty women having daughters as their first child.

Any help in finding that story would help me score points with my wife. :)
