I am awesome

So last Yule sumbel I made this boast that I would write a particular article for Idunna (which is journal put out by The Troth quarterly) by this year's Yule sumbel.  I procrastinated and struggled through The Well and the Tree, and finally wrote an outline in October.  December came, and it became crunch time, and every time I could get away from

Heathenry, parenthood, and geekery

I can relate to two-thirds of this so I shall probably enjoy it!

So how did things go with the advice I gave? You can email me that response, unless it's a simple "Fine and dandy Rod!" or some such that nobody else understands!

I expect you will like it. Truth be told, it's more about the Heathenry and the geekery, but what gives the article real worth is how it can help in the parentage.

You are awesome

Yes, you are awesome.

Before anyone thinks he made a 'blend these ingredients together and pour them in a crust from the store' kind of pie, let me elaborate. He made the crust dough. He baked the acorn squash. He scooped out a cup of squash and mixed up all the ingredients for the squashy layer. He mixed up the pecan syrup for the caramelized middle layer. He rolled and formed the crust and put in the lower two layers. He baked it, and while it was baking he made the chantilly cream for the top layer. It's a very yummy pie (I was feeling well enough to try some this morning).

Narfi's house-running dad skills are very impressive. It's amazing that he got all that done, especially with Alfie hanging on his pants the whole time he was in the kitchen and wanting someone to play with him. For a little while I was feeling well enough to sit downstairs and read books to entertain Alfie, but that's all I contributed to this endeavor. I lay in bed feeling awful or sleeping most of the day.
