chairman of the bored.
It's been a while since I've posted, and for the usual reasons: busy at home (house renovations, child, life in general) and busy at work (network management stuff, switch code upgrades, yadda yadda yadda).
Speaking of renovations, we finally have a contractor penciled in to help us with our kitchen (that should read 'kitsch-in'), and a plumber to help us with the kitchen and basement. I personally can't think of a better way to part with about ten grand, can you? :-P
Speaking of which, I must get Max's 529 plan up and running.
Nadine and I have been doing some demolition work (called 'demo' in the biz) in our kitchen, which, due to financial and logistical reasons, will remain in flux for some time. If you look up 'entropy' in the dictionary, there may well be a photo of our house in it. Just what we didn't want: a fixer-upper. Uppers, indeed...
Work has been really busy, which is mostly good. Unfortunately it's been just this side of reeeally busy (OK, wicked busy, as they say here in Bahston), which drives me a little batty. Nothing super compelling, nor terribly intellectually taxing (always a mixed blessing), but I need to get off my ass and seriously study for that fucking CCIE.
My parents are visiting for a few days around Max's first birthday. That will be nice. They've only seen him twice, with nearly 8 months separating the two visits. I think our trek to Buffalo for Easter really made them miss their grandson (oh yeah, and their grandson's parents too), thereby inspiring them to want to visit him again soon. At any rate, it'll be good to see them. My sister will be hanging out too (she lives about a mile or so away in Cambridge), as well as my in-laws. I'm looking forward to it. And to the boundless criticism that will no doubt ensue regarding the entropic state of the house! ;-)
Max is now sort of sitting up on his own, and when he does sit, he's pretty stable for long stretches. He's been able to pull himself up from a reclining position in his little "bouncy seat," and he does well pulling himself up from the floor to a standing position with only a little help from an adult. He's probably lagging a bit, physical-development,wise, compared to other little kids his age (about a year), but I don't think it's a big deal. He's otherwise very expressive, sturdy (he's about 26 pounds already!), and cute as a button. And him gots 4 toofies. :-) Egads, I love that little boy. There must be a dozen different pictures of him in my cubicle at work, including backgrounds of all 4 of my computers (2 at work, 2 at home).
If I were fifty, there'd be a similar number of... I dunno, boat pictures or Harleys or something? :-) Around this office, that'd probably be the case. I work across from a guy who has one 3x5 photo of himself and his wife (and IMHO I think she's gorgeous), and several pictures of his freaking 22' used motorboat, which he has yet to put into the water himself. Priorities, priorities...

I'm troubled by the fact that Pat Robertson thinks "activist judges" are a bigger threat to the United States than, say, al-Qaeda. It's one of those "you've got to be shitting me" moments.
Why doesn't anyone have a sound bite of George Bush talking about the Senate filibuster nonsense, referring to the Republecchicans' "nukular" option? ;-) Ah hell, I'll bet Jon Stewart has mentioned it already...
I'm using Google's Gmail primarily for blogversations. I have about 20 messages in my inbox, which is swell. At this rate, I should be good for about 150 years. :-D
OK, back to the paprika groves...
