At the pediatrician’s office, one of the questions on the form asks if my child can shoot urine more than a foot in distance.

Yes.

not quite right

I don’t remember when, but at some point I must have signed up to receive emails from Buy.com. The messages show up a couple times a week and are full of offers for all sorts of tech stuff — hard drives, SD cards, wireless base stations, printers, and the like. But the message I got the other day is, well, a little odd. Here are the top offers:

  • Sonic Impact HF1 High Fidelity Earphones
  • Gateway M-6308 Notebook
  • Kingston 2GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive
  • Sonic Impact i-P23 Portable Speakers
  • Logitech Cordless Desktop S510
  • Trojan Elexa Ultra Sensitive Lubricated Latex Condoms - 24 Pack

first father’s day

little guy

Yesterday was my first Father’s Day, what with the little guy having been born about two weeks ago (and having kept us very, very busy for the past two weeks.)

His present to me: Falling asleep on my chest early in the morning and giving me and his mom an extra two hours of blissful sleep. Then, he was the perfect kid throughout the day: alert, cute as ever, calm on the changing table, hanging on between feedings, napping at the right times, letting others hold him, and generally not fussing.

And then, at midnight, the present expired — and he succeeded in keeping us up all night. His parents are very, very tired today, but still very, very happy.
