I found this cartoon in the paper this morning and have found that he consistently comes up with some good ones. Roberts and Alito will be around for a long time. Several of the other judges who were born in the 30s will probably bail out at some point in the near future.

I've recently decided to sponsor a local guy who's going to give the Great Divide Race a go this summer. He's supposed to be quite a character as you can see from the picture and will need all the help that he can get to complete this 2490-mile self-supported mountain bike race.

LW just sent me a note mentioning that I should mark my calendar for the upcoming pregnancy classes. We'll get a tour of the nearby hospital (just in case) and an intro class on breastfeeding as well. We'll be Medela pump experts in no time at all. I've been a little worried lately that we wouldn't get in anywhere. In order to have a child at the Birth and Women's Health Center, you must attend some form of class so that you know what to expect. I asked the midwife on the last visit if LW doesn't intuitively know everything that she needs already. She danced around that for a bit and then said yes, but that we need the classes anyway. We're hesitant because we're not really into the idea of sitting around with a bunch of happy little breeder Stepford(house)Wives looking at baby pictures and hearing about Dick and Jane's fourth little baby or the like. Not necessarily anti-social, just anti-unecessary BS.
