one handed blogging. this is what it has come to. this is the price you pay to be a dad. how much can this tiny little......just back from a changing. The CEO has her now. The CEO, she's cold constantly. Put on a sweater I say. That's not the problem, this house is cold she responds. And so it goes every night.

Still tired.

The blog is approaching its one year anniversary. Amazing. Have I run out of thing to say. Today I have. The thing is that I'm tired. That is the bottom line. Everyday around 4:00 PM my body shuts down. That's not so good at work and it is even worse at home. These infants really push you to the limit on sleep deprivation. I know it will end but when!

G-parent visit.

The Madre has been here since last Tuesday and Pistol arrived yesterday (Friday). Sadly he will take leave of us at 8:00 AM on Sunday. However, we all believe that his efforts to get home will be futile, since he is 1) Flying through CHI and 2) BOS is being hit by a major storm tonight and tomorrow. It seems he will not be denied his departure. With any luck his flights will be much delayed and we will find that out before we go to the Airport tomorrow. The Madre is staying for a few more days. That's great!! We love having her hear and would love it if she'd stay longer. She seems to have a limit of one week that has no override switch. They have been both enjoying the new granddaughter and the CEO and I have been enjoy the extra help. We were even able to go see a move today, Neverland. It was fantastic! It is highly recommended by Tony C. It's hard to put into words what was so great about it since it wasn't powerful or hysterically funny. It was just "wonderful." It was a very beautiful story very well told with likeable characters....ummmm....I don't know. Maybe it was a love story. I think that is what it really was a love story and I was able to connect with the emotions of the movie and they were quietly powerful. If that makes any sense. There are a lot of movies on my must see list right now but I think number one is Sideways. I just love Paul Giamatti, he was great in American Splendor (well worth the rental).

See ya!

Thanks for all the comments recently. The TV discussion was great. However, I don't know if I'll be adding the Gilmore Girls to my list of programs. Is it only in reruns? I'd hate not to give it a test run after so many rave reviews but I really don't want to add to my list if I can help it. Maybe I should just drop ER.

Television......................

2kool's most recent post was all about TV watching. I think she has hit on a great blog topic, life topic even. Television, the medium we hate to love and love to hate and love to love. Anyhow here are some of my thoughts around the shows I currently watch whether I want to or not.

-My guilty pleasure show is: Desperate Housewives. What a piece of soap operatic trash!! I love it.
-My reality TV shows: The Apprentice. You gotta love "The Donald". However, I feel that this show is fading fast. But I'll hang on for this season, you know just to keep in the know. The other reality TV show I watch is "The Amazing Race". Not much to say about this one. I just love to see the couples bicker.
-The show I'd love to stop watching: ER. Been watching this one from the beginning and am attached to the characters. I can't seem to let them go. I really should. The show sucks.
-Then there is HBO. "It's not TV it's HBO." Like Larry David said "Come on of course it's TV we are watching it on TV." Anyhow the shows are of better quality and I love 'em. The ones I watch are: The Larry David Show, Six Feet Under, Entourage and The Sapranos.

That is a shit load of TV. I gotta stop this! Not to mention that on some nights I'm watching TV just to relax. That's no good. I complain about having no time and being really tired. Cutting out TV would open up huge amounts of time for me to get things done or to sleep. Now I know I'll never cut TV out of my life but maybe I can reduce my viewing time. I should at least start with eliminating the junk watching time. I'll try, maybe.

Yogi Rules!!!

Yogi Coudoux

In my very informal survey it seems that only men of the right age remember the incredible Yogi Coudoux. I don't know what it was about Yogi but if you were a young boy when "That's Incredible" was on the air you lived for seeing Yogi get into the plexi-glass box and be submerged underwater. For all I know he was left in the box for days. Recently my sister, brother-in-law and I rediscovered Yogi online and I felt like a twelve year old boy again. Thanks Yogi. Your talents will never cease to entertain me.

The rock.

I'm at the rock for my Grandfather's wake and funeral. It's a sad occurrence yet he lived a wonderfully long life and he got to know his great granddaughter and was well aware of the arrival of Z and even had a picture of her at the hospital with him. That makes me very happy.

The CEO is home with the two kids. Luckily her sister came out to visit and she will be helping out a lot. There has not been much sleeping going on lately. Z is only 13 days old so she's up every two hours to eat.

I went to bed (on the potato bed) at 10 PM woke up at 9 PM. Fantastic.

I owe the CEO a night or two of uninterrupted sleep big time.

Jealous.

I've got to admit I'm jealous.
Oh they laughed at me when I started my blog. Now there all doing it. Who's laughing now!

My wife's blog (aka: The CEO) has been red hot with readers. She has been busy posting thoughts and pictures during our adoption process. She told family and friends to check out her blog for updates. Even I've been telling people to go to her site for updates. She's doing a great job and I think it has been a lot of fun hearing people talk about the blog and some people have even posted comments. Yet I, I who was out there on the blogging frontier still toil in relative anonymity. In part I want it this way. Well not in part but in whole. I have told relatively few about my blog and I get the occasional comment which I truly appreciate. However, I guess I had always hoped for more. But I wanted "more" to spread by word of mouth not by my own promotion. I wanted "more" to spread because of the utter brilliance of my written word. Alas, the brilliance remains undiscovered or more likely untapped.

Enough about me what I'd really like to say is "Three cheers for the CEO!!!" Your blog kicks ass.
