< Elisabeth and Sam >

When you have a baby there's this list of things that people tell you that you have to get. One of them is this thing called "glider" -- it's like a padded La-z-boy with an ottoman that slides back and forth and they're really ugly and I thought "I really don't want to have one of those things in my house." One of our old housemates had left this rocking chair and I tried it out and found that it's perfectly comfortable and beautiful to look at. We rock in it a lot, but at the moment, I don't have more than a working relationship with it.
