November surprises

Two weeks I saw Argo [highly recommended!] and that made me remember the 1980 October Surprise controversies, which were hecka confusing to a five-year-old at the time.  I have my own November — or possibly early December — surprise coming: I’m about to become a dad, and I’m, well, 80% enthusiastic and about 20% terrified. Reminders that most of the world does this, at half my age, are welcome.

Please send bottled sleep, if you have any around; I’m trying to stockpile.

I’ve been too busy with my not-so-new job (I’ve been there ten months, commuting all the way across greater Seattle) and other things [see below] to write anything longform here, but I swing by now and then to clean out the spamtraps.  And — as today — to free-associate a little.

I believe I’ve changed the settings to no longer post twitter-logs here. If you miss my weekly twitter-log updates (why would you?) you can read my twitter feed directly or read a mirror of it on this blog.

    Hi Jeremy!!! Just saw this on your facebook, i didn’t know you had a blog! Congratulations on the soon to be new arrival!!!!! (<– grammar issue?)

    I understand your fear, i was fairly nervous during my pregnancy. It will be so fun though!!! And yes, tiring. But so fun!!! 🙂 What part of town do you guys live in now? Let me know if you need anything!! Is it a boy or a girl? I can probably scrounge up some manly baby clothes if it's a boy! And if you/Dorothy need moral support with nursing (if she is planning to do that) or whatever, call me anytime! I truly mean that. I had to call one of my friends at about 1am the night my milk came in and I didn't know what to do…. long story….. anyway I really want to repay that favor but she is done having kids so I have to pay it forward. 🙂

      Thanks, Amy! We’ve got good support lined up, including my mom & several others, but always nice to know about more.

      We live in West Seattle, near Alaska Junction, which is a great fit for us: small-town feel with easy access to the big city.
