DICK
A Year With My Baby
I remember that October day she brought home the half-gallon of Breyers Fried Ice Cream like it was yesterday. My waistline hasn’t been the same since.
Last week, we celebrated the little prodigy’s first birthday with tacos and an Elmo cake, causing me to run to restroom to reflect on all the things we’ve learned as parents and all the things she’s learned as the child of the two greatest parents of all time.
Sofia has taught us a lot, too. We’ve learned that although the talking Elmo cell phone can be programmed so that Elmo will say “Sofia” or maybe “Sophia” if you have the right cord and an internet connection, Sofia doesn’t seem to mind that Elmo still calls her Archie.
What we can’t figure out is if there are any small children out there actually named Archie and why we get a bill each month with $400 worth of calls to Sesame Street.
Making sure Sofia is ready in the morning is probably the most difficult thing about being a parent. Usually she’s up pretty early, but if she doesn’t have my shirt ironed and my lunch made before 7:15, it’s straight to “The Timeout Step” for her. We learned that on Super Nanny.
Before we had Sofia, everyone warned us about how our life would change with a baby. They’d say “you won’t be able to sleep” and “you’re never going to get to go out again.”
It’s just not true. I get at least three hours of sleep every night. We went to dinner once and a movie one other time. And guess what, naysayers?
We’ll go again when our CD matures and we can afford to pay the babysitter.
It’s been a great year at home with the baby. We can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish by her second birthday. I’ve already read the first few chapters of her detective novel, and let me tell you, it’s a page-turner.
How Does Barack Say 'I Told You So'?
I told you so, suckers.

I (h)ate this
I've wanted to try the Colonel's famed chicken bowl for a long time. Bits of fried chicken, "sweet" corn, mashed potatoes and zero trans fat gravy all mixed together sounded like something I'd be into.
So, after being home sick for the last two days, and with the Cubs opening their playoff series tomorrow in Arizona, tonight seemed like as good a night as any to die.
The good news is, I ate the whole thing. I even scraped the grooves of the plastic bowl for more gravy.
Unfortunately, now I'm not sure what made me more sick: the chicken bowl or two days of daytime television (including pseudo-journalist Ann Curry practically licking Jenna Bush on The Today Show and Elizabeth Something-or-Another grilling Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi about troop surges on The View).
If you have a few moments to do some light, no trans fat reading, try this.
If you have a few moments to do some extra crispy reading, try this. If you click the link (go ahead, click it), you'll see that it's about a handsome stay-at-home dad. Obviously, I really identify with it.
By the way, has anyone ever ordered a Diet Pepsi at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant? And if so, why?
Love you,
Greg
