So the Pope is resigning. A surprise, but not a shock. You just have to look at his past comments, he has always mentioned that the Pope should resign if he cannot continue to do the job 100%. As I've mentioned, health care is so amazing now, that he could last a long time, ie another John Paul II at the end. A conclave should be starting in early March and by Easter there should be a new Pope. The mass media will get carried away with papabile, and if the past is any indication the next Pope most likely won't come from that last. I'd pick Cardinal Burke or Ranjith if I had a vote :P

You always hear it, ways to tell that you are getting older. Some are obvious like, going to bed earlier or not enjoying going out clubbing/drinking/partying. Some are scary like, making comments your parents would make, getting annoyed at those kids who have everything. I discovered a new one the other day. Getting excited over finding good deals on kid's clothing. I was at Kohl's looking for some clothes for our  son and I hit the motherload. T-shirts for $1,long sleeve shirts for $3. I got a couple hoodies for $7 a piece. What was truly frightening was how excited I got. I was beyond thrilled when the receipt said I saved over $350.

So apparently, late at night, when the baby wakes us up, I sometimes speak incoherently. These are a few of my highlights, so to speak.(typed up by my wife at 4:30 AM feeding) "You gotta give it to the snow people, you know [like I'm (my wife) the dumb one], the ones at the iPad store.  You plug the people in and they turn into a Lego monster." Then later... You, Angrily: "The snow people read your stats off your glasses!" Me (wife) : dafuq??? You: "The glasses on your face!  They read your stats!" Previous interview: Going into the bathroom, after I asked you where you were randomly going: "I'm going in here to brown my sausage! Me (wife) : dafuq??? Why??? You: "because there's a skillet in there!" Me (wife) : what?! Why is there a skillet in there?? You, angrily: "BECAUSE IT'S GERMAN!!" Upon me asking why you went downstairs and came back up empty handed: "I had to put the cake in the microwave because ...

Gracie is almost 2 months old and she has been doing a good job being completely different from her brother. Vinny was generally a good sleeper at night and would let us get 5-6 hours of sleep at a time. She can sleep 5-6, but usually it is 3-4. She is growing perfectly according to the doctor. Right now the The Boss is still home from work, she has enough leave to get her through January and possibly through half of February. This gives us plenty of time to make sure Gracie can take a bottle without a sweat.
