coming 'round

If you've read my site much, you probably remember my descent into despair about not being able to have kids or my subsequent plunge under the knife to give it a shot after all. Two scars, $7,000 and a whole lot of practicing later and...

...we're pregnant! Vanessa just passed sixteen weeks yesterday and is feeling and looking great. We're so freaking thrilled; neither of could believe the results of the pregnancy test that Vanessa took on a whim, more to clear out space in a drawer than to check if she was pregnant. I even made her show me the test, as I thought she was surely just playing a cruel joke on me. :-)

So there it is. Life isn't all bad news and bad breaks — I guess Jobu got his refill.

fan

Today, I am the world's biggest Alex Rodriguez fan.

It might be because Barry is a Giant, and I can no more cheer a Giant than I can a tapeworm. It might be because Barry is a rotten liar whose head has incomprehensibly grown a few sizes (and I don't see any other evidence of gigantism). It might be because he's a prick who supplanted one of the game's greatest ambassadors and heroes. It might be because Barry is a cheating Johnny-Come-Lately who hit 73 home runs at age 36 after only barely approaching 50 in a year before that.

Whatever the reason, I just can't wait to see what classy Barry does when Rodriguez smokes him on his way to 800 home runs. Meh, he'll probably just blame the media.

Go A-Rod!
