Big Announcements :: Big Expectations
Posted by: | Comments
Wow! Lot’s of stuff to cover here. Lot’s of stuff has happened and is happening and will continue happening.
First things first: Tricia, my wonderful, beautiful, awesome and incredible wife is PREGNANT!!! Holy crap!!! Most of you reading this have probably already heard this, but it bears repeating again and again: we’re going to be parents!!! Tricia’s gonna be a mommy!!! I’m going to be a daddy!!! I could write a whole, whole lot about all this…but not here! In the future, there will be posts about things that impact us here, but I will leave most of the blogging about this whole parenthood adventure to a different place.
Which is the second thing to cover. There is a new blog I’ve started that is everything Baby Payne and all our adventures along the way, colorfully cataloged for your reading pleasure. However, my greatest hope for this site is that it might become a place where parents of all ages feel free to comment, leaving their wisdom for us and other new, ignorant, and green parents who follow after. I hope it becomes a great resource! Here’s the link to it (and it’s in the sidebar over there, too!):

There is a high probability that it will move to a better domain in the near future, but I’ve done what I can so far and hope you enjoy it!

As I was slipping and sliding my way around town today, I had to marvel at the epic nature of the snow and ice storm. It rolls in, riding high on the tidal wave of hype, hysteria, and proportion-less reaction and is met squarely with reality, rational thought, and realistic retreat. Sometimes it lives up to the buildup and really ruins the regular rhythm our lives for a short time, but most of the time we all know (in this part of the country, anyway) it will be a mild hindrance and slight removal from the mundane, day-to-day monotony.
I saw hundreds of status updates, tweets and comments on the both of them yesterday, all alluding to the forthcoming snow. Some were hoping for a huge blizzard while others were petitioning for the precipitation to miss its mark, but everyone was buzzing about the impending snow.
But why? We don’t get nearly excited about the rain. Read More→
