Game Day: Swallowing the ocean edition

Formerly Fun’s Chris suggested posting a side-by-side shot of Boy Z and Not Max. Everyone who has seen Not Max remarks on how much he looks like his brother, so I thought it would be an interesting experiment. I went one step further and put them in the same outfit. Both photos were taken at [...]

Believe me, all our days here are unsure.

Why didn’t those of you with multiple spawn warn me that having two kids was four times as much work as having one kid?* I might have taken action – a vow of abstinence after Boy Z was born or something.
My Spring Break thus far has been a battle. A battle with Not Max over [...]

Game Day: It’s nothing personal, you see

Boy Z demonstrates what we do with hogs down here in the deep, deep south…

It’s the Dawgs versus the Hogs today as the Georgia Bulldogs head into Fayetteville for a match-up with the Arkansas Razorbacks. It’s been a while since these two teams squared off – 2005 in Athens (a 23-2o win for the Dawgs) [...]

And so in five-hundred years there’s gonna be some history here

There’s something about becoming a father, even the second time around, that cleaves reality away temporarily. And that’s where I am today. It’s the middle of what should be a busy work week and it just doesn’t matter. I’m missing lectures and practicals and tutorials and it’s all OK. Because all that matters right now [...]
