With nine weeks to go until Baby Day, I’m noticing little changes in the way I view the world.  

Take this video of an angry dad yelling at the internet for instance — show it to me a few months ago, and my response is something along the lines of: How crazy!  Now, I sit here watching this and think to myself: Holy christ, is there any way to keep my daughter away from the internets until she’s in her thirties?   A futile hope, I suppose.

By the time she’s a teenager, she’ll be using something more advanced than what we have today, and I (not quite understanding how it works) will be screaming like a madman into the video 3D hologram recorder, telling whoever’s out there that “I done backtraced it” and they’re all getting “reported to the cyber police and the state police”.

The only question is whether or not I’ll have a nice, bushy mustache.


Looks like I’m a gonna hafta work on my knife throwing skills.

Junior High Student Arrested for Doodling in Class.

Yikes.  And to think, when I was in 3rd Grade, I got a pink slip and proceeded to feign illness for a week, staying home just to avoid the dreaded school punishment (standing in the hall with your nose to the wall for an entire recess).

Something like this would have given me a nervous breakdown.

I’m walking to work on a somewhat cold, somewhat dreary Tuesday, about to cross Seventh Avenue.  On the opposite corner, I spy a young kid (three-ish?) with his back to me, looking at his shadow and dancing madly like only little kids can.  Shaking and twisting and watching his shadow do identical crazy things.   A nice moment that put a needed smile upon my face, though the little man will never know it.

Of course, his mother then scolded him and dragged him across the street (all the while yammering on her cell phone).
