Summertime

The Summer's off to a pretty nice start despite the heat and ridiculous thunder storms. It's been a long time since I was a Summer person but it looks like I'm back!

Obviously my kids have a lot to do with it and I think the economy may be playing a part too. I hear a lot of people are interested in spending time outside again and backyards seem to be really big this year. I've been eyeballing some pretty sweet patio furniture myself lately. I also have a vision of a really nice wooden swing set for the boys.

The other night my wife and I were sitting out back and I saw a lightning bug that triggered an emotional response from me. All sorts of really fond memories of Summertime came flooding back into my brain, like Summers down at the Jersey Shore, camping, fishing, playing war with the neighborhood kids etc. Really good American Summertime shit.

Of course there are a few minor issues... It seems that I only own one pair of shorts and two bathing suits. I have absolutely no idea what people are wearing from June to September these days, but I'm fairly confident that I'll figure it out.

I should also mention that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out in a couple of weeks. I've already started the Pot-a-thon in preparation for what will be the biggest Summer movie of the year. Corky personally guarantees it! Pretty bold prediction if you ask me.

Three Weeks Old

Ben's really starting to get there, isn't he?

It's amazing how much stuff I forgot about infants, and Ben's very cool older brother Max isn't even two yet!

Makes me wonder how much other crap I've simply forgotten or buried in the back of my head...

I think we're starting to get the hang of having two kids though. The craziest part is that they seem to be on the same exact schedule. When it's time for one to eat, it's time for the other to eat. When it's time to change Ben's diaper, it's time to change Max's diaper. Crazy shit.

But the biggest surprise to me is how much more garbage there is. Every time I turn around I'm taking out another fucking bag of garbage. I should probably call the garbage company and tell them to bring me a second complimentary can, cause we're going to need it.

How's Max doing? Max is great. He seems to really like having a little brother. Sure he likes to steal Ben's pacifier and bottle from time to time, but who doesn't?
