Nah, I don't want to get smacked around. I am a total wuss. But I will use the words morbid, and gag inducing. Anyway, this is a story about karma, and being careful with the wishes you make. For most families birth begins with the water breaking, or some other physiological gisn of things to come. Not with us, oh no! We are the type of family that likes to heroically overcome all odds (with a a little cost to our combined sanity, of course). For us the story began, when a hapless Walgreen's worker has lost The Awesome Wife's prescription. The prescription was not the most urgent one, and they gave us an option of picking it up at the 24H Walgreen not far away, if we call the doctor and ask for a new one. We've decided not to do that, the due-date was couple of weeks away, and the new drug's only difference was that it could be flushed out of the system within twelve hours, instead of twenty-four of the original. A VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE! Because, you see as we w...

As requested I give you a little update. I will write a full blown detail infested post about the process. It had action, it had drama, it had comedy. Movies will win Oscars based on the story. Or, not. I don't really give a damn. I am just very happy, in a sillly what-the-hell has-just-happened-to-me, way. The only thing I am able to say right now, that the beautiful Isabelle Rose Burlak is healthy, if very annoyed at being pushed into the scary wide world. Gahd, she's got lungs on her! Here's the picture of her, with a happy older sister. Sorry, for the red eyes, but I don't have the will power right now fighting with Photoshop.

I am a daddy again. I mean I never stopped, but now I am two times the dad. Holy cow! Details when I wake up.

Well, I don't have a lot to report. The class is over, and a got a solid A- instead of a solid B. There is a lot of work. I have moved to the new office by the O'Hare Airport last week, and so far it hasn't been bad. I have a cubicle mate who is of Russian descent, so I can talk with somebody now. The office is located about a mile away from the one of the airport's landing strips. And it's right on the path of landing airplanes. I will try to bring another camera in for a better snapshot but here's something to give you an idea. Taken on my phone.

From the mouth of a 4 Year Old - You are the greatest dad in the world! (After giving as scoop of ice cream) I only wish parenting was always that easy. To get praise like that. I promised uncompromising cutness and here it is. This was a small part of a fairly big dance show made by the school where The Little ONe attends ballet. Beware, if this doesn't made you chuckle, you are a stone hearted bastard! I Warned You!

The work is catching up to me. I have three back-to-back meetings in the morning. I am actually sitting in one right now, luckily is not my turn to speak. The Little One, had her balet recital on Wednesday, and I promise to post some earth-shattering cuteness in a day or so. You've been warned! ------- STOLEN GPS UPDATE It seems the nice peolpe of Magellan are able to blacklist my stolen GPS, in case it gets reported for a fix or update or registration. I am thinking eBay. It's actually tough to drive without one. I got lost today a bit, and my trusty GPS unit would have saved me. P.S.: I LOVE LEVERAGE!
