Where the hell have you been?

Contrary to current speculation, I have not been deeply embedded with the troops in Afghanistan. I don't know why everything thinks that...

There are going to be a few changes around here (young man) and I haven't had the time or the will to make them happen just yet. Some new design is on the horizon, it's not fantastic or dramatic or anything else that would justify the amount of time I've been away. Just trying to infuse a little change into things. This will include more regular baby pictures, so if you're opposed to that sort of thing, you may want to sit close to the door so you can leave without disturbing the others.

It's not every day a co-worker is called a 'vindictive bitch' on national television.

I don't know how many of you watched American Dream Derby on the Game Show Network (I didn't even know I had it as part of my basic cable plan until I looked for it) but it was a horse-racing reality show. My colleague Deanna Manfredi at MyCompanyInc.com won a seat on the show, and while she lost in the penultimate episode, she was "voted" back on by viewers and ultimately won the grand prize last week: a quarter mil and a stable of eight race horses. Pretty sweet, Deanna.

If you caught any of the show, you will know she played to win and was fairly ..um direct in pursuit of her goals. Which is to say, I don't think the moniker of "vindictive" or "bitch" was entirely undeserved (and she would be the first to agree, I think.) She looks harmless here, but if you were trying to win horses from her you would see another side.


Speaking of monikers, I don't know how it evolved from "the cannoli" to "Boo" to "The Boo," but he hardly answers to Nicholas anymore. Here's a placeholder until I have time to regail you with tales of downward facing dog and diaper football and giggle festivus and the other thrilling chapters of Boo Development Theater that have been unfolding here at home. Your patience will be rewarded.
