Now that I look at it, I have been ignoring this blog for quite some time, which is becoming an alarming trend.

Technically, I have a good excuse: I became a father and changed jobs.  All things considered, I can honestly admit that I would rather be playing with my three and a half month old daughter than work on blog posts, but now that I am down with flu I am kinda running out of excuses.

I suspect the real reason is that I now have to wake up very early in the morning because my schedule has changed.  That leaves me grouchy for some time, since I am not a morning person.  To put it mildly.  Heck, at one of my old jobs, I recall that people would go to great lengths to make sure that they do not cross paths with me unless I had already consumed a couple of cups of coffee.

Now, I am finding an interesting coffee replacement therapy of sorts:  I walk by Julie's crib in the morning and she cracks a big toothless smile when she sees me (and now she is learning to giggle as well).  That keeps me smiling most of the day.

Respectfully,
