Top ten most annoying people

Troy Hudson The stress of both worlds....of which you suck at. From Ole defense to his rifleman offensive personality, he annoys the crap out of me.

Charles Schwab (for those commercials) Those partially animated spots where the person is talking about their financial annoying crap. I mean, how could you go from this to stupid animated people.

W: I thought I had GERD, but it was only when W would give that little smug smile after he had "answered" a question.

Kevin Mchale Let's quickly refer back to the place in our minds where we've stored the nightmares that are the Minnesota draft picks during the Kevin Garnett era. Two good picks, three bad picks, one mediocre pick, and one unknown. Let's see one of those drafts had two picks and.........there it is! It's the elephant in the room. What happened to all of those other draft picks? Well, we know that one was traded away in order to acquire Bobby Jackson, but the others are still unaccounted for. Here's what I'm getting at: Joe Smith and "debacle" aren't grouped together because they sound good. Apparently, the Minnesota brass, namely Kevin McHale and Owner, Glen Taylor, thought that it would be wise to put the "secret" illegal contract in writing. Brilliant! About a year later, the league somehow got a copy of the agreement and that was precisely the moment when Joe Smith went from "Ordinary Joe" to "Joe Smith Debacle." The Minnesota organization was fined a large sum of money, Taylor was suspended, McHale involuntarily took a "leave of absence" from his front office post, and the team was forced to forfeit five future first-round picks. So five first rounders for Joe Smith...One for Bobby Jackson (who we just decided not to sign) one for 1/2 a season with Marcus Banks and one for letting the Clippers take all-star Sam Cassell for something called Marco Jaric. So all in all, that is 8 first round draft picks for Bobby, Marco, Joe and 1/2 of Marcus. Now, people say to trade Kevin to rebuild....but I disagree. Not when McHale has control of the ship. We will probably get 1 first rounder and a couple more guards that are decent back-ups.

Chris Hawkey: Anyone who tries to act more dumb than the star on the morning show should be taken out back and beaten.

Bill Walton: enough of bill, please.

Puffy: How many weight loss progams that you "eat all you want and don't exercise" can a guy tout?

Any lifetime achievement award winner at any celeb award show (chewbacca excluded): Those 15 minutes I will never get back. No, I don't think you are a genius, you just try to act like one.

Jack Black: What other character does he play.

Tom Cruise:

In no particular order

dishonorable mention...sam jackson: narcissus

Days that blur

It is about time for me to go back to work again. The last 8-10 days have just been a blur. I usually get up and do the 4:00am feeding time with Bella, change her and then try to get her to calm down again and go to sleep. I am sleeping again, maybe, by 4:45am. It is a strange night now that there is a newborn in the house. I think neither Anita or I may get sleep in patches of about 4 hours at a time. I seem to be o.k. during the day, but mornings are a killer. Never enough things to worry about with the little one as well....is she pooping enough, too much, what is the color....yes most of the worry comes with the amount and color of poop these days.....what a life ey? But I wouldn't change it for anything....fatherhood is amazing!

Bella

Bella's site

We finally got to bring Bella home today. She had been in the level 2 nursery for a few days. first because her white blood cell count was high and the docs were concerned with infection, so they put an IV in her head to give her antibiotics and fluids. Her blood culture was negative after 48 hours (thank goodness as she then would have been in the nursery for 10 more days), but her bilirubin count was up, so she was placed in the photo booth/box to help her with that. She then was weened off of the IV and has been feeding pretty well since. It is late, Anita is sleeping, or trying, and I am watching my little Bella until her 11:00 feeding time. Ta.
Byron is still adjusting.

Happy family

BABY!

Isabella Pearl Severt was born today, Jan 6th at 12:03am. She is 6 lbs 6 oz and 19 inches. It was a very long day for mom and baby. I think my jaw will recover from clenching it together on every push. All in all, though, very exciting. More later....
