Hi party people,

This is mostly a test... today Dana goes in for a C-section. To be totally honest, I'm not nervous, and I don't think she is either. We're going through the same stuff as we did 18 months ago, and everything worked out fine then. So, here we are again.

Any shlump can have a kid, I know. But I don't just have a kid, I have a family, ( Read more... )

I meant to write a few weeks ago about election stuff, and how I was going to break down and vote for a disgusting, disingenuous, politics-as-usual douchebag for senator over people I liked better ( ( Read more... )

OK, so, if anyone actually read my last post you know that Dana's water broke on Thursday ( Read more... )

... is what I'd be saying if I were Dana. So, I think somebody's finally going to yank this thing out of her in the next 24 hours. Finally, I get to meet my (not-so-long-lost-) daughter. Life feels like an episode of Montel. If her first words are "You don't know me," that'll just confirm it ( Read more... )

MSN had a poll the other day asking, "Do you agree with President Bush when he likens the struggle against Islamic fundamentalism with the fight against Nazis and communists?" But the answers they offered as possibilities imply some weird things ( Read more... )
