Yesterday I worked 13 hours, the day before 15. Tonight we open George M! Friday I have a 250 piece mailing going out. Yesterday Ben had his first t-ball game and thankfully I was able to see the first inning. Tomorrow morning I have my two munchkins. Next.

Sammy's favorite game is pulling the Cheerios (for example) out of the cabinet and emptying them on the floor, and while Dad is tied up in the kitchen going into the playroom and pulling first the box of Legos, and then the bristle Bloks, and finally the Gears!Gears!Gears! box off the shelf. Repeat as necessary. Cute smile to emphasize noncompliance to unnecessary parental controls. My work week is a wonderful diversion. I'm doing the plumbing on a 2400 sq. ft. new house, building a custom cupola on a custom garage, and residing a house. Our nanny's last day is tomorrow, Kate will continue to work 16 to 20 hours a week for her clients, while endeavoring to do our books, and hang w/ the kids 4 days a week, and keep weekends sacred. I don't know, YOU do the math.

Ummm, let's see. Bruce is in Milwaukee for a Sailor Symposium (try to say that without lisping!) went up there Monday for a visit, came back tuesday, managed to fire off an ebirthdaycard to Rich (are we getting lazy or what?) and this weekend is Gay Pride (funny they should call it that, I hardly see any behavior on exhibit that anyone should or could possibly be proud of) Work Friday til 3am, saturday til 4am, be back at the bar sunday at 11am, do the parade, actually, half the parade when I will jump off the float, somehow get back to the bar so we can be open for tons of already drunken queens to contiune their imbibing.

Think of it as a big nationwide Party Pig Reunion with 10s of thousands of Pigz partying like they were still in their 20s. Just forget the part about everyone trying to have sex with each other. ewwwwwwww.

Honestly, I don't know how you Fathers do it!

I am awed and humbled.
