Baby Coming Soon...
I have not blogged in approximately 72 years, yet I got an email saying that 5 people still check this blog daily. So, if you are one of those five, you deserve some sort of prize for hanging in there.
I am going to be a father. Very soon. Perhaps tonight. People keep asking me how I'm doing. I answer with some variation of "It's a mixed bag-I'm feeling every emotion-stop asking me I've run out of answers because it's all anyone asks me anymore." My wife is due 2 days from now. Two days. We're having a boy.
I promise not to fill my blog with worthless gibberish about how being a father makes me understand everything in the universe in a whole new way. But I might have a couple of posts that resemble, or actually become, straight up cheese. I mean, drooly, silly, pejorative crap all about how I could stare at my son's nose for hours on end (i'm convinced that I'll actually do this).
But then, I'll get back to the real business at hand: important issues like why I still think Bono is for real, why I still am bugged by the American flag that proudly stands outside of the sanctuary of my church, and how I think love, in the smallest ways, actually does win, even when I think it doesn't.
Great to be back.

We're so excited for you guys, and I personally can't wait to read your sappy posts.
P.S. Your blog is on our favorites list...no pressure. :)
great to hear from you...
i'm sure you've heard & read about Evan Reid Koral by now - we're so pumped for our friends including you & Mar!
we're pumped for ourselves as well - we'll be joining the new parents bandwagon sometime around December 3.
Jimmy! That is AWESOME! Congratulations. And, Crick, I heard that you and Ernie were adopting, that's awesome as wel. Let's all write nothing but sappy posts about our kids. By the way, currently my boy is one day late.
i check your blog often and was SHOCKED to see not one, but 2 entries! how fun! and i cannot wait to read your words of adoration dripping with parental goo over Isaac!

I am very proud of the fact that a flag is on display at my church. I'm thankful to live in the greatest country on earth.
