I'm sorry it took your father too, Typo. Several of my friends fathers and grandfathers died of it as well. I tend to feel it personally when I hear someone has pancreatic cancer, which of course is irrational of me. But it's just such a cruel of a disease.
Yeah. He's my hero.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ugh. I can't leave on that miserable note. Esp since I just finished making some waffle batter so it can sit until morning. Mmm. Waffles for breakfast. I like Sundays.

Waffles for breakfast are indeed good. So is homemade granola, which by coincidence I put up for tomorrow morning. I also have a package of frozen mangoes I need to figure out something fun to do with. (Fresh Mangoes, I'd just serve but with frozen I should probably find a recipe.)

Any better options for in-store shopping in Manhattan?
Metro Minis, on the UES. WF is good for organic bath stuff, but they don't really have toys. (Buy Buy Baby has a lot of Melissa & Doug wooden toys for older babies, but most of their newborn stock is Carters, Gerber, etc.)
[eta: For brands, I really love Under The Nile. Their stuff is *adorable* and lasts just this side of forever.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks! I got an adorable onesie the last time I went baby shopping at the Bowery WF, and it's marginally more convenient than the UES, so I'll do that again. Now I just have to remember!

Jesse, Costco is not going to happen for me today.
mac has been up for 3 hours, me for less than one. I am ready to kick him off the tv for football and the golden globes, but I am not sure that is going to fly.
