Yes, I’m a Dad. Wow. Tyler is 2 months old now. He’s a spitting image of… well, that’s up for debate as he starts to fill in. Lets just say he looks like his parents. Though, I think he looks like me, but maybe because of the implicit crew cut. Health == Fantastic. Sleep == O.K. Smiles == Off-The-Charts! Amy and I are working on a routine where I can run & bike and she can dance & shop. All in all… as expected.

Life has changed, but in a good way. Gone are the days of rampart youth. I spent my 20’s living in downtown Chicago, traveling and consulting abroad, but most importantly with a solid group of friends. Those memories will never fade and the experiences will always continue. You of the Orbitz crew… you know who you are. See you in August 2008! . But now things are complacent and family oriented. It feels very natural and the timing is right. Actually, my lower back is unnaturally killing me this week… maybe because I’m training for the Santa Cruz 1/2 marathon and over-exerted myself on recent 7-mi runs…. Eh. I’m just getting old. Regardless, I’m fundamentally happy that fatherhood is upon me.

It’s 10:36 pm. Mom and baby are sleeping. I’m waiting for another hour to do the night feeding.

Tyler, when you read this… go mow the lawn. I just changed your diaper.
