Under that band-aid is the proof that Pru is officially done with her first real battery of vaccinations. Sure, sure we could have relied on the actions of others but we’re weak-willed on top of being rational actors. Plus, what if we move to a colony of Christian Scientists and there is a Diphtheria outbreak? Pru just isn’t [...]

Pru, in a continuation of the series Famous Poses of Great Figures in History (which Great Uncle Phil noted the start of in utero) has added Abraham Lincoln to her repertoire:
We’re just hoping she doesn’t learn to smirk while doing it, frankly.
Bad napper no more!

As the blog may or may not have led you to believe, our Sweet Pea is not the world’s greatest capitalizer on the opportunity for naps. Up until today she just wouldn’t sleep during the day unless someone was holding her, preferably while they were standing upright. This was never the ideal situation, [...]

It’s beginning to occur to me that I’m probably not on the verge of winning the lottery.

Pru has been ill – congested, coughing – most of the week. I guess Nietzsche was right: Christianity does weaken you.

Pru was baptized on Sunday (Epiphany) afternoon at our parish just after the noon Mass. We were touched that so many family, friends and blogging notables were able to be in attendance. She was angelic almost the whole time (even during a pretty extensive photo session afterwards) and quickly calmed down when she [...]
Spare Some Change?

Having watched one and a half debates tonight, I’m pretty much OD’d on change. Romney believes in change. Huckabee believes in change. Obama believes in change. Edwards believes in change, and believes that Obama believes in change. Hilary has fought for change for 35 years. Richardson “loves” change… If I may quote Bank of America: [...]
A typical conversation in Dwyeropolis

While watching coverage of the Iowa caucuses:
Guy running a caucus: “Alright everybody, now we’re going to break up into our preference groups”
Angus (using his Zapp Brannigan voice): “…our sexual preference groups?”
Sarah: “I thought he said breakfast groups.”
Angus: “… our sexual breakfast groups?”
What Would Samuel Gompers Do?

A brief foray into politics: Am I the only one who thinks there’s something slightly incongruous about the fact that Huckabee, the erstwhile champion of downscale and working-class Republican voters, is spending the night before the Iowa Caucuses crossing a picket line? I mean, I know the Writers’ Guild isn’t exactly the United [...]
