Announcement
Hello Friends, After having someone think (from the last post) that a baby was coming into my life within a week or so, I am going to make the labelling process more obvious. This system already exists on the site, but those of you who read this from your e-mail...
A Little Shift
I hate these raging hormones. When my hormones rage, my control goes out the window. I think I am in big trouble. This baby is due in a week. Ever since I got pregnant, every time I have changed I have become this overweight welder guy! That is not supposed to...
Road Trip Lessons
I just got back from a trip to my brother’s. Saw my niece and her husband and her new baby, my nephew, and my brother and sister-in-law. It was a great visit! From my home to my brother’s home is about 850 miles. That is a long drive. At the end of the drive on day...

Beating on Walls
