Happenings

There is so much to write about these days, but not surprisingly I have been too tired to write. While I don’t have a single theme to bind this post together, I do have a number of random thoughts bouncing in my head these days.
1. Barack Obama is our President-Elect - Thank F#@k!n God!. John [...]

New Territory

Due to Elliot’s physical state (he got hand-foot-mouth from daycare), he needs to stay home for a few days to recover and heal so as to not spread the fun to other little ones. My mother watched him yesterday, and today it’s my turn. Since he is currently napping, I thought I would embrace the [...]

Our first big night out

I haven’t written in a while because I wasn’t sure I had anything worthy of a post. Last night, however, was the first night out (of any considerable amount of time) for Amy and myself since Elliot was born. We met Jennie and Gordon at their place in Oakland and proceeded to one of my [...]

10 Most Common Phrases In Our House

I am sitting here before we’re about to crash and Elliot is playing with his Whoozit (a stuffed toy made of different textured/colored material). Quite a day for mommy and daddy, filled with lots of errands and heaps of poo and pee. Most of our discussion these days is centered around Elliot (rightfully so), and [...]

My first 5 days as a father

So, at Barefoot this morning, I was reading an article about a girl born on July 7 of this year. To make the story even more “interesting”, she weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces. It got us thinking. Elliot was born on July 4 2007 (7 4 7) and weighed 7 pounds and 4.7 ounces (again [...]

The Boy To Be Named Later

We thought last night was it. Laying there around 10:30, Amy hands me a print out with a table outlined for writing down times and durations for contractions. Isn’t she the little planner? Anyways, I start writing them down and they are about 4-6 minutes apart and around 30-50 seconds in duration. I have a [...]

Trying to do too much?

So, I was practicing on my guitar the other night and I realized just how bad I am at pacing myself. I have always had a tendency to take on too much and shred through tasks too quickly. Right now, for example, I am trying to learn ‘Secret Heart’ and ‘Mushaboom’ by Feist, the solo [...]

Philip Morris, You’re Not My Pimp Anymore

Taking a brief trip back in time (say about 15 weeks ago) … one weekday evening in our lovely home we find out that we’re going to have a baby. Awesome I thought … I hope it gets our nose, has 3 legs, can juggle and speaks Swahili. Following this news, there were lots of [...]
