Friday, December 8, 2006 Well folks, it’s 10p on December 8th., and our due date begins in two hours. While nothing is happening yet, it’s a gonna happen. Soon. At the very least the doctor feels strongly that we should induce come the 14th. if nature doesn’t take its own course in the meantime. Let

Sunday, December 3, 2006 Man…so the room is ready, mother-in-law is in town and the misnamed “due date” is less than a week away. That’s right people, we’re almost parents. Holy crap. Parents. Wow. Parents. Yeehaw! Parents. Egad. Parents?!?!? A couple of weeks ago I said, naturally, how the two of us would be doing

Sunday, November 19, 2006 Ok guys, I’ve had a few surprise parties in my time. In each and EVERY case I was caught utterly unaware. Mind you, I generally regard myself relatively adept at sensing surroundings (a product, I expect, of living in Rio where things could get pretty hairy pretty quickly)…but the truth of

Saturday, October 7, 2006 Home…a concept that is not simply a structure, a collection of walls and a roof or a number on a street. People can make a place a home, just as the most aesthetically pleasing design doesn’t bring comfort when love is absent. Why do I wax poetic? Well, after a visit
Great to be back, but not home…

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 You know, we had a fantastic time in Miami. It was utterly fantastic to see our family and friends and we got to share what seemed like moments with those we love so much. There aren’t words to thank people that treat us with so much affection and that miss so
Getting Out
August 29, 2006
Tuesday, August 29, 2006 We’ve been busy. Not taking-care-of-Zy busy which I know will be an entirely new reality, but our schedules have certainly changed quite a bit over the last months. Thankfully, I got out of work a bit early today after our department team building session. The gang went out for a tasty
Signs of Promise
August 16, 2006
Wednesday, August 16, 2006 When you’re on a bike, signs like this mean a lot more than just road conditions. They hold promise. The promise of fun, of challenges, of excitement – the things that make riding such a completely different experience of going from point A to point B. This particular sign is in
Weekends…?

Sunday, July 16, 2006 What happened to them? Yes folks, that’s right. You parents and homeowners knew, but you didn’t WARN me! When you’re married / own a home and have kids coming there are no such things as weekends anymore. Ha, ha you bastards. You knew of course, you knew perfectly well that the

Sunday, July 9, 2006 We got it. Yep, we got the place. Check out the news HERE – all about our new home and the process of getting it. I know it’s actually a pretty good excuse, but I hate the fact that I haven’t updated in weeks. I’ve done quite a few updates, so

Thursday, June 1, 2006 Just what the heck is the deal? I mean, we struggle mightily to earn little green pieces of paper which we then give to other people (in their struggle for the same pieces of paper) so that they are compelled, encouraged, excited, obligated, happy, resentful or simply duty bound to do
