Woo hoo! Seb slept for about 7.5 hours last night. Amazing. It was quite nice to get that much at one time. In other news…the cloth diaper thing has been quite an adventure. Lots of frustration and stress, as you really can’t let him sit in a wet diaper for very long. At least the […]

If you’re a sports fan, this time of year really sorta stinks. The NHL and NBA playoffs are finished, leaving us with just Major League Baseball. Sure, if you live in NYC or Boston, it might be an exciting thing to look forward to, but here in Pittsburgh it means having only depressing news about […]

I don’t what I think about this…..Liz Phair releasing an album on Capitol Records. Sorta disappointing that the indie queen is selling her soul to the man. But…I was already disappointed to see that Matador was a member of the RIAA, so I guess her jump to the big leagues isn’t quite as shocking….

Had my very first father’s day yesterday. Didn’t get a gift from Seb, but lots of people went out their way to wish me a happy’s father’s day. Crazy. Seb is continuing to become more like a little person everyday. He’s smiling quite a bit now, and on Saturday he even managed to flip himself […]

There’s an article on Salon today about how if any of the Supreme Court justices retire in the next 18 months (a definite possibility) that GW Bush should do the _ethical_ thing and not appoint replacements. Huh? The author’s rationale is simple — if Bush does appoint a new justice, he is tilting the court […]

More Middle East Violence Yessirree, there will be peace in the Middle East in no time. Let me ask the question again: why are we trying to get in the middle of this conflict? And this isn’t a conservative/liberal thing — this is a power thing. Clinton was in the middle of it too, trying […]

More violence in the West Bank. Good to see that this new push for peace is working. Why is the US involved here? This is a long-standing feud between two groups for a piece of land that both believe is God-given. The average American (and American politician) can’t even wrap their head around how complicated […]

It’s really amazing how quickly the boy develops. Just over the weekend, he became a little more aware of what was happening around him. He was looking at things with conviction — actually taking in what he was looking at. He also started to *talk* a bit….coos and grunts and whatnot. Then yesterday he became […]

Markko Martin won the Acropolis rally, taking his first-ever WRC win. Carlos Sainz managed to keep Petter Solberg at bay to take second. Solberg held second place for most of the day, but some transmission problems and a little run-in with Colin McRae kept him from scoring 2 more points. Richard Burns did a fine […]

More interesting news on day 2 of the Acropolic Rally. Petter Solberg stormed out of the gate and looked to the man to challenge Markko Martin. He got quite close, til he had driveshaft issues later in the morning, and dropped over a minute. Martin saw his chance and took it, storming to three stage […]
