I apologize to those few readers I have for my sporadic and infrequent posting as of late. For much of my recent absence, the issue has mostly been that I’ve been busy with work and too drained at the end of the day to sit and write something. But for the past week I’ve had a more serious excuse for my lack of presence – My wife was checked into the hospital on Tuesday for a bad staph infection in her knee that turned out to be MRSA.

Entropy
The bumps and potholes in the road of parenthood are many and often unexpected. And when things are suddenly moving smoothly in the right direction, derailment should not be surprising when it comes.

My Son, the Rock Star
Apparently I’ve been working too hard lately, because to my surprise, I have come to find that my son is in fact a rock star.

So when I got home I had a nice array of episodes to watch – some I had already half-scene, but many I missed. Read more “Just What the Doctor Ordered”
Christmabirthdapaloosa
It has been a busy month. Since my last post, I’ve spent the majority of my free time shopping, planning parties or going to parties (most of which have been for my daughter who just turned 5). I’m now 4 states south of home visiting with my parents for a week (and having additional birthday celebrations as well as early Christmas gift exchanging). Meanwhile I have my BlackBerry on me which seems to indicate new messages constantly at all hours of the day and night. So so far my vacation has yet to feel very relaxing and this holiday season feels like more work than fun. Read more “Christmabirthdapaloosa”
