We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I read that first as "#1 didn't sleep more than 2 hours at a time until we Febrezed him at 10 months."

I was so sleep deprived at that point that if someone had suggested Febreeze, I totally would have tried it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, my mother just told me a great thing. My father doesn't read any more, but my mother still wants to sit and read sometimes, and finds him to be a pain during those times. But she remembered that he's gotten into looking at art at his various programs, and pulled out an art book they have, and he was totally into it! For 20 minutes! So that's good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

until we Ferberized him at 10 months

I read that as Febreezed too! What is Ferberizing? I'm trying to imagine and can't.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What is Ferberizing? I'm trying to imagine and can't.

I think Ferber is a doctor who came up with a technique for getting babies into a regular sleep pattern. We did something similar with Ryan, following a book called Save Our Sleep. (Key similarity: put the baby in bed while he or she is still awake, and - to some extent at least - if they get upset, let them cry it out, with the goal of helping the baby learn how to soothe themselves instead of relying on their parents to do so.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Someone reassure me about the presidential election.

Yeah, but that's not reassuring me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
