The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Am I the only one who didn't know Tommyrot had sons?

I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Merry Holidays, Buffistas!

Traveling with a toddler means that what used to be a one-day trip to Alabama now takes three. We spent last night a my brother-in-law's new place, which is in an utterly ordinary-looking suburban neighborhood that happens to be 20 minutes down a windy, narrow road, past a bunch of goat farms that obviously used to be the end of the road, off an exit 20 minutes north of Birmingham. It's suburbia meets the middle of nowhere. Tonight and tomorrow, we're in Tuscaloosa, then we head to my parents' place, also in the middle of nowhere about an hour west of Dothan and 45 minutes north of Panama City Beach.

I think my Christmas wish for next year is that all our relatives move into the same house about 3 hours away from Austin, but never visit.

His sister and her partner have two children that he fathered, is the story I recall....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yes, he's the donor for his sister and her partner. (The partner getting the spunk, of course.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh yeah. For a while I was Sperm Boy. Now I'm Bio-Pop.

The partner getting the spunk, of course.

Yes, occasionally I've had to point out that part for the confused....

Now I'm Bio-Pop.

Nothing like an Otter Pop.

I like that. Good job with the selfish mathematic genes, btw.

Holy carp I'm tired. We've been away from home for 36 hours.

Had a very lovely Christmas dinner with EM and spent the night there. Matilda slept well - going 4.5 hours in one stretch. Huzzah. Presents and coffee and hanging out until the afternoon. Hit JZ's Aunt's posh family thingie for 20 minutes so everybody could coo at the baby. Then to JZ's Mom's place for a much bigger dinner than anticipated with lots of extra people. Emmett was very well behaved for me the whole time. Gold star for robot boy.

Oh! The cat has been poking his head through the curtains and looking out the window for a couple hours, and we just looked to see what the heck he was looking at, and realized the rain had turned to snow, and it's all White Christmas out there! Cool.
