I don't know about side trip. Most of the time, it's like my brain has
decided to take a nap.
New one from yesterday:
Her: Ooh, stick. Two sticks!
Me: That's right, two sticks.
Her: Daddy, stick? Eat stick?
(She points the stick at my face.)
Me: You want me to eat the stick?
Her: (Big smile, nodding fiercely.)
Me: People don't eat sticks, sweetie.
Her: Okay!
At least she let me off easy.

Our question now is, try for two, or stick with one? We've got some time -
my wife has a window during which she refuses to get pregnant. She doesn't
want to be at her biggest and most miserable during the hottest months of
the year again.
Can't imagine why.

Why, so you did! My apologies. I don't check the MySpace page very often.
I started reconnecting with people that maybe I wasn't so interested in
having connected with in the first place. But I have responded, in my
own inadequate way, to your comment. (I'll stay connected with your.
You're
cool.)
