As a father of girls…
Did you or someone close to you just have a baby?
Congratulations! Your life will never be the same!

My second time visiting an operating room as an expectant father was different from the first in a variety of ways.
It was in a different hospital in a different city with different doctors.
Most of all, though, it was planned.
The baby was so big that a Cesarean section (C-section) was scheduled on the morning of her due date. We arrived at the hospital at 6:30 a.m., my wife was being prepped at 7:30, and she was taken into the OR at 8:30.
At 9:07 a.m., we had a big, healthy baby girl.
For the second time.
When our brand new daughter was first given to us, my wife looked at her and said, “It took so long for you to get here.”

My life did not turn out the way I would have expected.

It’s been an interesting year for all of us, but for me, this was even more true.

To say that the nature of television is changing would be a massive understatement.

I do the grocery shopping in my house.

I don’t feel like cooking.

I came back from vacation six days ago and I’m still recovering.
