Let's try this again...

I'm going to make an attempt to revive this. We'll see if it sticks.

Lots of updates since the last time I did something substantive with this, roughly a year ago:

- My wife Charity and I are expecting a son in September, Hogan David Krebs. And no, I did not name him after the Hulkster.

- Our dog, Dakota, had a slight bout with arthritis in her spine, resulting in her being unable to walk for most of December and January. Fortunately, she's mostly back to normal.

- I posted pictures of our four cats last summer. Three of them are now either dead or have run off. In the interim, both of the calicos and the black and white one had litters of kittens, and the surviving one of the original four (Wesa) and two of the kids have had additional litters. Long story short, if all of the kittens make it and hang around (and if the two cats that vanished over our long weekend away from home last weekend return), we now have seventeen goddamn cats. The ones that were formerly indoors got the boot outside because of the baby, so at least I'm done with litter boxes. And barn cats tend to come and go fairly rapidly here.

- I briefly had a job, off and on for three months, doing data entry work as a temp. Other than that, my life as the broken dick of employability sadness continues.

- Oh, and the stupid f**king mower is broken again, so we're right back where we started in this damn story.

The house-husband dynamic is going to be changing a bit as well, as my wife will be home quite a bit more. Which reminds me, I need to stash the frying pans somewhere she can't find them so that she'll be unarmed when I say something stupid and incite another bout of "pregnancy rage."
