Plus, all new competences! Like feeding a human with your bosom!

Like feeding a human with your bosom!

It's very cost effective. Plus also the contented after bonding.

Now tagless for your comfort.

That's the stuff that really matters, the loss of competence that I feel deeply.

It comes back. It really, really does.

Absolutely! It does.

And remember that most of the crap you worry about doesn't happen.

Truer words were never typed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, I need to do some cleaning, too. My parents are coming to town on Saturday, and, while they aren't staying with me, they always manage to spend some time in my apartment when they're here.

You have looked exceptionally contented lately, David...

Right, and X months from now, Jessica, Kat and lori, and Kalshane will all be talking about their infants, and you'll realize all the other new competences you've developed, too. And like Plei says, it really does come back and then some, really.

Hey, shrift, where are you reading about Chicago gangs?

I started out reading Twenty-First Century V.O.T.E. by Greg Donaldson, which is about the 1994 election campaign of Gator Bradley, a Gangster Disciple who ran for Alderman:

This is The Hole, six 16 story red brick buildings at the north end of the Robert Taylor Housing project on the South Side of Chicago. The structures loom straight and stark. High above, shadowy figures drift behind cyclone fence mesh that drapes the open air walkways. At the foot of the buildings lies a nightmare landscape, rusted green garbage compactors, a ruined playground. Gang land.

I can't wait until the next batch hatches! It's very exciting.

FWIW, JZ, I think I'm actually a much better writer now, even if it was almost a year before I really started being able to write again. Not as fast (not as much time), but a lot more focused, and more... hmm. Grounded, perhaps. Adding a nice bit of earthy to my prose, toning the purple down to a muted plum or some such.

For myself, among the reasons I am glad I had my second child is that I am so much less stressed out about everything. My god, I learned something with No. 1!!! (Sorry, No. 1, for screwing so many things up. Have fun in therapy!) (Sorry, No. 2; I'm sure I'll screw something different up with you! Have fun in therapy, too!) (But the two of you do look cute together!)
