countdown to 3-30-09

That's Heather's due date. Hoping our little cub doesn't arrive on April Fool's Day, cause who wants to have people mess with your birthday every year?

I've been soaking in all the congratulations and backslaps as we've been letting people know. One of the kindest things you can say to a man is "I think you'd be a great dad." And yes, believe it or not, I have heard that -- and I even think they were talking to me. I've read the book that Dan lent me, Be Prepared, though I'm sure not for the last time. So far my favorite MacGyver tip is on how to make an emergency diaper out of a dishtowel, sock, and duct tape.

Our working title for the little one has been Baby Ganoosh, since Heather announced the good news when we met at a Lebanese restaurant. Truth be told, she was there a few minutes early walking slowly down the street with a totally dazed look on her face. It didn't take long to discern why.

I even made a logo for our little one. Where are you without a brand these days?
