No, I’m not talking about Hayes’ diaper, though, if Metrodad’s “If the Foo Shits, Wear it!” post is any indication, that’s in my near future. Nope, it’s snowing… again. 6-8 inches, they’re calling for. Though, if there’s one thing I’ve learned growing up a Masshole, it’s that being a weathman (or woman) in New England is the only job you can constantly be wrong at and still have at the end of the day. That’s just how weather is around here. Just for the record, that means Hayes will be born during the snowiest January in the history of keeping track of such things here in Boston. That’s alot of snow folks.

Another random, not related thought. The Oscar nominations were announced yesterday and I for one am livid. Jen and I defintely make a bigger deal about the Oscars than most, making a nice dinner, opening a bottle of sparkling wine and staying up way past our bedtimes to see it. We even manged to scam two tickets to a 2k a plate Oscar party dinner a couple of years ago on the Sunset Strip. It was hobnobbing with the B-list actors. Tom Arnold, I’m looking at you. Oh, and an aside. We were fortunate enought to be seated next to Will Estes, a wonderful character actor and star of the NBC program American Dreams. In case you ever thought all Hollywood types were assholes, well, you only need to look at him. He was the honestly one of the nicest people I have ever met. He even made a point of finding us on his way out to say goodbye. A really nice guy. Anyway, how the hell do you overlook Paul Giamati? I mean really… nominate Thomas Haden Church but overlook Paul? Clearly this is a looks game. What does he need to do to get recognized. I’m pissed.

That aside, I’m back at the hospital, things are going much better with a bit of sleep for Jen, me and Hayes. We’ve started feeding him a bit differently and he’s actually sleeping. I make it a point use allcaps sparingly, but SLEEPING! What a difference. What a boy!
