The kid is out cold
He wouldn't fall asleep, so I loaded him into my car and drove around Austin and... voila! ...
How many unemployed writers in Austin have more than 15 years of experience? Can't be that many, can it?
Sorry to continue bludgeoning you with bad news on my job search front, but this was in my in-box this morning:Thank you for your recent interest in our posting on Craigslist for a Public Affairs reporter for (blank online publication). We received a...
Daddy, I'm looking for some trouble...
....Less than 10 minutes later, he poured his milk all over my couch. (At least it wasn't on my computer this time.) And how can you get mad when this is what stares back at you....
Happy Birthday Noah!
Look who turns 2 today......
There is a cow in my car
I bought the Britax toddler car seat for Noah a few weeks ago. Babies R Us only had this weird cow pattern. From everything I read (and from what Noah's mother told me), this car seat was supposed to be one of the safest around.So, I put down the cas...
This kid is ready for a bib
I think he's got a 10-minute-mile in him. No?**********I took it "easy" during Thursday morning's 10-miler. Never dipped below 7 minute-mile and averaged 7:52 for the entire run. Afterwards, a lot of us dipped into the Barton Creek springs, which are...
How do moms do what they do
Seeing Noah so much has been as fun as I thought it would be and as rewarding. He loves attention. He is always saying, "Daddy, daddy, daddy," before he does something he thinks is totally amazing, like telling me what a rock is, or throwing his bask...
If Noah can dribble a soccer ball, I can rework my resume
Every time I see Noah in Austin, I pick up one of his little play basketballs and dribble. For Christmas, we bought him a little mini basketball goal and so when I went down this past weekend, he kept saying, "Hoop. Hoop. Hoop."On Sunday, we took him...
It's officially official
I have been absolutely overwhelmed with the support each of you in the blogosphere have shown as I went through the decision-making process of leaving my job of 14 years to move to Austin to raise Noah. (I know. I know. Too many prepositional phrases...
Well, that was a strange reaction
I turned in my paperwork for the voluntary buyout. I'll know if I'm accepted sometime Thursday. Basically, if four people who have more tenure than me want the voluntary buyout, I won't be accepted. But far as I know, of all the people who want to le...
Noah vs. the Star-Telegram
So, what I didn't say the other day, what I didn't detail about the Star-Telegram layoffs was this: Yeah, I survived, but I have the option of taking a voluntary buyout.And so how that plays out for me is this way: I can stay at the Star-Telegram, wh...
Big decision I'm making
Usually when I visit Noah, I stay at the Austin townhouse of his mother, who lives with her mother. I sleep in my own room and I get up when Noah awakes and I get to see him before he goes to sleep. I get there on Saturdays after my long run (Yeah, y...
Uh, Dad...what happened to the cartoons????
Getting back into it
(Before I begin this post, let me say that there has been a delay in the marathon video, but I should have it up sometime Wednesday.)So, its been 8 days since the marathon and I'm already thinking about when I'm going to do the next one. But my body ...
