Ok, so it's been a while. If you've gotten the bulletin or email to the photo blog then you know what I've been up to. The last 33 days have raced by with little sleep and a lot of worry, curiosity and excitement. Contrary to what you may have been told, being a daddy isn't hard. The hard thing is trying to escape the influx of unwelcome advice and/or anecdotes from people who think that they're some sort of expert since they have previously bred a little human.
My little human is perfect.
My Mrs. is recovering quite well, too. Sometime in the next 18 years I might gather the courage to attempt to engage in sexual congress with her again.
--and now for something completely different--
Yesterday millions of economically afflicted Americans left their hovels in the middle of the night, burning fuel at over $3.00 per gallon, to wait in line to trample each other racing to buy the new fangled, ridiculously expensive, whirlygig that their bratty kid has demanded for Christmas. Three days ago these were the same people that were anxiously awaiting the 5:00 hour in their cubicles nervously chatting amongst themselves about the failing economy and the horribly high gas prices. They whine and moan about paying for health care services and how they "deserve" a free system with the same breath that complains about high taxes.
How many billions of dollars were spent yesterday on bullshit?
How about the day before Thanksgiving? Nationwide it is the largest party night for bars of the year, even topping New Years Eve. All of the young Americans that took planes, trains, buses or cars to destinations unknown to eat a gluttonous meal with family go out and spend a small fortune on booze. They may be late on their mortgage, car or whatever else payments, but there is always enough money to party.
Spending creates movement, and movement is always good. Besides, I'm in the market for a new house and I would love to take a newer, larger foreclosed house from someone living above their means that decided to forgo their mortgage payment in lieu of buying a Xbox 360, iPhone, Wii, PS3, Lexus, Diamonds, or whatever else was advertised to them as a way of buying love and approval.
Happy Holidays.
