-since we’re all feeling a bit better today, I’ll actually write something rather than just slap up some cute baby pictures….but don’t worry, you’ll get one of those, too- The kids and I got an earlier start this morning over to the hospital, as we were meeting Nana and Aunt Jen along the way at […]
Catherine Rose Parker born: August 14, 2007, 12:08pm weight: 5 lbs, 14 oz. length: 19.5 inches Mom and baby are doing well, though with the C-section, they’ll be in the hospital a couple of days. Colleen’s feeling reasonably well, and Catherine’s figured out the whole “eating and pooping” thing, so things are progressing nicely. We’re […]
I’m really no good at this… As Monday lunchtime arrives, we’re down to the last 24 hours. My nerves are completely shot, and the stress is now manifesting itself physically (those of you who know me know exactly what form that manifestation is taking).

I had at least one real friend on the interview panel, so there’s that, and the other two didn’t run me out, and seemed responsive in a positive manner. What’s potentially interesting is that my competition doesn’t seem to be who I […]
ten pounds of something in a five pound bag It may not be as bad as that statement’s colloquial connotation makes it out to be, but the week certainly feels overstuffed enough to qualify for a reasonably literal reading of the comparison. I think the feeling stems from the fact that it’s a non-normal week […]
Colleen and I have been married for NINE YEARS. Seems like forever. It’s not really forever, but really, if you factor in all the time we’ve been considered as “an item” by the casual outsider in addition to the whole married thing, we’re only two years off from being together longer than we’ve not been […]
When we last left the action in the saga of the bathroom floor, I’d gotten a call that the floor guys hadn’t received our materials from the supplier, so work wouldn’t be able to commence on Friday as planned. We were pencilled in for Tuesday. Frustrating, but, alas, par for this particular course. Saturday morning […]
