My boy is finally here! This post won't be long, because I have a million things to do (and sleep is near the top of the list, in case you didn't notice the time of birth), but I wanted to let everyone know that Ian and Erica are both doing very well, and of course, ( pictures! )

I think my phone has rung about 40 times since I've gotten home from work. I almost threw it against the wall to make it stop. I'm a little irritated about it. Seriously, if you live upstairs from me, there is no reason to call me five times within an hour, let alone within a night. Come down, say everything you have to say, and go away.

Something odd occured to me today. This is for those of you who watch the news, read, or pay attention at all to the world not directly in front of them. Do you recall all of the uproar over the political cartoons printed in Europe depicting the Islamic prophet Muhammad? If you don't know what I'm talking about, go ahead and click here to get ( Read more... )

I done gone and got myself promoted yesterday! I meant to post yesterday, but was very excited and distracted. Anyway, I will be moving shortly closer to Philadelphia in order to work in a new store being built in Warrington. More later, but this was done so as to allow my very eager wife to post, since she didn't want to break my news to anyone ( Read more... )
