BABY LIMBO

Along with taking more steps this week - Greer is "this" close to walking - he has also been fighting off a cold that's been drifting around the family. We're all feeling better since the Thanksgiving fever, but he's still got a cough and runny nose...thus, he hasn't been able to go to daycare this week.

Alex and I have been taking half-days at work to look after him - and it's worked out great. Just having a little time with him to play and bond has reinforced my feeling that we need more time with him. Not sure how that's going to happen, exactly - but I suspect that an answer is in the wind.

OTHER THINGS...

Office Christmas party is this Saturday. Should be pretty fun - based on what I've heard. I figured that if I could survive "the job curve" until the Christmas party...

Haven't mentioned this yet (not that anyone's reading...), but I share office space with fellow PDX blogger Jenn of illusionaire.com and my buddy Dave from earlier days @ Imagebuilder software. Both are great people - and manage to keep me somewhat grounded on the job.

Anyway, Jenn - here's hoping your new car takes some pressure off of your bum foot...

I seem to have lost touch with the national political scene lately. Since the elections, the front page just seems to be a sad reminder of our unfolding national future. That...and the job consumes everything - even the less occasional friendly meetup with my only Republican friend.

Sorry about that, Marc.
