My Addled Brain

As previously Twittered, we’re having a boy. The name is decided upon: Maxwell Damon, because our child will be kick-ass, and as such, requires a name to equal his supreme awesomeness. In this, I believe we have succeeded.

Little Max was ready for his sonogram close-up yesterday, shakin’ it (but not quite breakin’ it) for his mother, his aunt, his cousin Jack, and myself, which leads us to believe that not only will he lead the simian revolution when he comes of age, he will also succeed Michael Flatley as Lord of the Dance and lead us into a new era of disco-pop dance fever. However, he will not wear polyester while doing so. Sorry, man-made fabrics manufacturers.

We’ve got some pictures (incuding one with a mouse pointer directing attention to his maleness, which I’m sure is something involved in about 75% of my nightmares), but I currently have no way to scan them since my fabulous all-in-one printer/scanner/copier/stapler/geiger counter/defibrillator/coffee maker thought it would be a fantastic idea to clog an ink port, thus completely disabling every other device on it, including ones not related to printing. HP, you truly are one of the world’s great evils.

Thought I’d keep things a bit simpler this time, so instead of creating a design from scratch, I just decided to modify something that already exists. Of course, I can’t just tweak one or two little things - so right now the only things that remain are the font and link styles - and those won’t be around for much longer either.

Still, it’s nice to bring this site somewhat back to it’s roots; for those not around for the first few years of this website’s life, Robby here was our original mascot and occasional guest blogger. If you’re interested, you could read up on Robby’s ridiculous escapades. Or, not. But that’s up to you, my friends.

I figure that if I’m getting back into this blogging thing, I should probably spruce up the place. I’ve had the same theme for several years, dating back to when I used to update regularly.

Yes, that long.

So, for now you will suffer with this drabness until I get the new look complete. yes, I have one in the works. Yes, there will still be a simian of some sort involved. No, I don’t quite know what the rest will be. Yet.

But you have to admit, the new theme involves a certain amount of effort on my part. You’d think I might actually be serious this time…

But since I’ve done away with just about every other form of stress relief in my life, I’m considering this whole “blogging” thing again. I certainly do have a lot to talk about these days - married, child on the way (yes, really), and more. Plus, I’ve been playing with that twitter thing, and while I find the text entry limitations…intriguing, sometimes I gots more to say than a measly 140 characters.

But we’ll see.
