The silence of this blog ends with a medical update. First. In August I had a vasectomy - read sterility. I don't feel any overwhelming need to make a one family football team. The truth is I feel I could be a much better parent to two children vice three, five, seven, eleven children. Besides do you really want a world filled with so many "mini-me's"? Probably not. I want to focus on raising two of the best children I can. ***NOTE TO GRANDPARENTS*** this is a hint that you can focus on spoiling Niko and Penelope without worry of guilt building fron the fear that my future children wil not get the same treatment. So set your fears aside and spoil away!!! ***END NOTE*** Resume normal reading--- Second. I had an accident involving my stairs, my lack of sleep, and my fifth metacarple - read bone in hand behind my pinky finger. I have what is affectionately called a "Boxers Fracture". I broke my hand. Yes, it hurts a little. No, I do not need anger management. Yes typing is a little hard. No, I wont do it again. Yes, it is very inconvenient
