Amanda and I are pregnant again...

Why didn't anyone tell me this is how it happens? The Cause.

The baby is due April 11--just a couple weeks shy of Emmalynne's first birthday.

On the pathetic state of masculinity in our country...

The crude humor, the booze/drug/sex antics, the crazy debt, lack of responsibility, obsession with 'cool', and generally immature behavior--all of it points to a state of arrested development that has a firm grip on males in this country, and it makes me very, very sad. Young men are mookish caricatures of what the should be, of what the realities of life demand. Gentlemen, grow up.

Finally someone gets it right.
