Weekend in Review

Baby Milestones
The Undaling is now doing what they call the "army crawl" or the "commando crawl" or the less-political term, the "inch worm". This is an exciting milestone and marks the end of the immobile period of his life. From this point forward, our baby-proofing will be put to the test. I'm told by more experienced parents that we will soon regret helping him learn how to do this, and long for the days when he would just lay there, as we work to perfect the art of redirection.

Couch Time
To mark the occassion of the baby on the move, I got in one last weekend of extreme couch sitting. The NFL draft was a perfect opportunity to get my off-season football fix, while spending a full day and a half chained to the living room like a "Black Snake Moan" character.

Tattoo
It remains one of my 2007 resolutions to get a tattoo. I'm still in the research phase. This weekend, I spoke to a kid with a fresh tattoo on his forearm.

"Do you think you'll regret that when you're 70?" I asked.

His mother replied: "It's temporary. He's three."

Very interesting.
