I knew the day was coming, but it's still a staggering bit of news. I'm responsible for a new little human. Happily, I seem to have got a fine partner in these matters, if today's performance was any indication. 13 hours of labour; ouch!

Well, I don't think I've ever been so daunted by a task. But as usual, I'm going to document the whole adventure. To that end, I've started assembling a brand new web site for The Boy.

rand()m quote

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
