Easily Amused
In the almost 1 year that I have been blogging, I’ve noticed something that strikes me as extremely funny, which also affects how I think about and do my job:
People on the Internet will read anything when they are looking for porn.
I scan my blog visitor stats, and am always interested in seeing what brought […]

Feeling Fortunate and Blessed
Have I mentioned that I love the medical practice we’re using? It’s a joint doctors-and-midwives practice, and we’re seeing the midwives. They’re so warm and sweet, and I love that they take their time with me and answer all my questions.

Constant Motion
OK, maybe "constant" motion is an exaggeration. He refused to move at all for Grandma on Saturday, for example.

Amusement, Drama, and a Merry Christmas
We’re back from our wonderful whirlwind trip up to the DC suburbs.
First, the amusement. Near the South Carolina/Georgia boarder, we found our favorite series of billboards EVER. I think there were 7 all totalled. Every single one of them said — among other things — TOPLESS/TOPLESS. Some of them had exclamation points, some of […]
