Beer in Bugaboo

We’re at Tigin, an Irish pub on Bedford, with Jack.
As you can see, we’re making full use of our stroller’s new cupholder.

I love comics.
My friend Tim introduced me to graphic novels 2 years ago with Watchmen. I’m reading From Hell right now. They’re both serious works of literature by Alan Moore, and I’d highly recommend them.
Anyway, the economist Greg Mankiw recently posted a link to these comic books from the Federal Reserve. I can’t wait to […]
“Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere.”
Pixar has done it again. My sister bought us Ratatouille, a movie about a rat who becomes a chef. Like the other Pixar movies, it shakes your imagination, delights your eyes, and tugs on the strings of your heart.
I’ve […]
Sexy pajama model
A few weeks ago I went to Target and bought Greta a pajama set. After the grueling labor and birth process, several people suggested that I show her my love by purchasing a diamond. Ha!
I thought a set of soft pajamas for $16.99 from Target was more our speed.
Then […]

The Empire State Building is infected with mice. And I’m not talking about the basement.
My sister works on the 37th floor. That’s really really high up.
What I want to know is: how did mice make their way to the 37th floor?
How long did it take to climb that high?
Did successive generations of mice […]
Childish office wallpaper

I don’t work in a nursery school.
But a reasonable person might think I do, if they saw the wallpaper in my office.

Froze my butt off, Redskins beat Giants

I went to the redskins/giants game last night, with people from work. It
was my first NFL football game.
It was also the longest I’ve been away from Jack. It was a strange
feeling. On the […]
Yesterday at work, I was brainstorming with a colleague about a business idea.
I was thinking about all the different things I’ve learned how to do with 1 hand: read a newspaper, make a latte, eat lunch. But it’s still quite difficult to hold a child and type an email. The […]
I just uploaded a sickening number of pictures of Jack’s first bath.
Honestly, unless you’re a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or child modeling agency, you probably won’t want to click through to see these 52 pictures and 10 videos.

My dentist recommended that I purchase a Sonicare toothbrush from Philips. Apparently the spinning head applies a lot of pressure and reduces all sorts of dental problems. I don’t remember the details but I want to buy one.
So I run a google search and find the Philips site for Sonicare. There […]

We bathed Jack last night. Tons of adorable pictures coming soon…here’s a little teaser.
He’s all wrapped up in his special bath towel, and couldn’t be happier.
NOTE: we are not accepting requests for baby modeling jobs at this time.
This time I ‘woke up’ in a bathroom stall, drunk, only to realize that I had somehow left Jack sleeping in the car, outside on the street, where there was a police officer waiting to ask me a few questions.
I woke up for real just as I got to the part where I had to […]
I think this dream was lifted straight from an episode of Desperate Housewives….
Someone tried to steal our babies. Yes, that’s right: plural. Which is about all the displacement this dream offered. For some reason, we had adopted newborn twins. Everything else (that I remember) was true to life.
We were hanging out in our apartment, […]
Check out Command-Shift-3, a hot-or-not for websites. It’s addicting and sometimes hilarious.
My high school classmate Amit Gupta recently launched it with some friends.

We went to the mall tonight. Just a little yuppie family outing…
We were told not to take Jack anywhere public for the first 3 years (or something like that, b/c of vaccinations), so we were a little nervous at first, but honestly: is there anyone […]
I joined Flickr. It is vastly superior to Picasa, if you care about tagging, geo-tagging, direct-to-blog, and community features. I’m considering transferring all of my pictures from Picasa to Flickr.
Picasa has 2 advantages: 1) its desktop application makes photo organization easy, and 2) the web albums are easy to navigate (good for old people like […]
I am being pressured at work to give some loot to a charity. They will match my donation.
We make small contributions to 3 different educational institutions, but those won’t count for this particular exercise.
I’m looking for an organization where my measly donation will have a real impact. Please drop me an email or comment […]
I’ve been having intense anxiety dreams ever since Jack arrived. I don’t always remember all of them, but the ones I can remember have ranged from standard-issue anxiousness to full-blown nightmare:
Chris goes on business trip but forgets to pack pants.
Giant man-eating lizard attacks Chris.
Chris goes to Vegas with large group of friends from college. They […]
