2010: A time to reflect and regret
Posted by E-George on January 6, 2010
It only just now dawned on me that the year is 2010. Yeah, yeah, I knew about New Years and I was even woken up at midnight by neighborhood fireworks and the sonic boom of a large fireworks display put on by one of the golf courses and I was all, “Blah blah a [...]

Christmas and so on
Posted by E-George on December 31, 2009
Christmas was delightfully low key this year. Matthew’s brother and family were moving in a new house so we put off our Minnesota Christmas for another year and all of my family scattered off to do their own respective things which left us to fend for ourselves. For the first year in the [...]

All about buying and selling
Posted by E-George on August 14, 2009
This process of buying and selling a house has certainly been both educational and emotional. I realize that this process is one of the greatest tests of a marriage and its durability. Fortunately, it hasn’t seemed to create any major strain, other than that time when I found the house I really really [...]

If Billy Mays ain’t sellin’ it, I ain’t buyin’ it.
Posted by E-George on April 3, 2009
And, now glory upon glory, Billy Mays has his own TV show. Set your TiVos folks for April 15th to bask in this goldmine of gratuitous attempt to boost the infomercial industry. BUT WAIT! Don’t order now! THERE’S MORE! Mr. Mays will be sharing the reality TV stage with Anthony Sullivan. [...]

Daddy has to go boom-boom
Posted by E-George on April 1, 2009
I may have mentioned that one of the evening rituals with Evelyn is the sacred nudie time. Usually taking place 30 minutes or so before her bedtime and is an unbridled time of hard play. Because we conduct nudie time in the bedroom where it is warmer, Matthew is often in and out [...]

Morbidly delighted to see poo
Posted by E-George on November 20, 2008
I believe that have received the mommy superpower of interpretation. I can now translate a cry into a problem source and often times take action on a drama-abating solution. Sometimes, however, the cry cannot be assuaged because there is nothing to do but let nature take its course.
Evelyn is learning the critical [...]

Leaking, stinging, napping, changing, laundering…
Posted by E-George on October 15, 2008
I realize there is lots going on in this world, but my personal universe has become quite small, revolving entirely around Evelyn. The adjustment to having a baby has been far more intense than I had originally expected.
On Monday, Evelyn will be 1 month old. We’re still struggling with our breastfeeding, but since my mom’s [...]

Whale Ho!
Posted by E-George on September 14, 2008
It was advised to me that it would be nice to have some documentation that showed the progression of my pregnancy through some means other than oratory and writings. I thought I had been as successful as the chupacabra at evading photographic capture, but a dip into the household NAS’s photo archives has proved [...]

Pillow Geometry
Posted by E-George on September 9, 2008
Matthew can be quite patient, given the correct scenario. Take, for example, my hijacking of every pillow from our bed (save his normal sleeping pillow) for elaborate pillow geometry constructs designed to provide me with enough support and comfort to sleep while doing so at a an angle that minimizes heartburn and the effort required [...]

More baby as produce
Posted by E-George on August 27, 2008
I had cataloged the list of produce (or grocery store) items that a baby website associates to the growth schedule of a gestating infant. I thought I’d update the list to where we are, as of this week: banana, length of a carrot, spaghetti squash, a large mango, length of an ear of corn, [...]
