What to expect when you are matriculating

… a new baby. I wonder if it already has a Twitter account.

A funny thing happened on the way to my doctoral degree …

Don't Panic
A new Makice is expected in March

We are officially switching from man-to-man to a zone in time for March Madness. Welcome as this news is, it also has our family trip to Boston for CHI 2009 (among other things) somewhat tentative.

I would pledge to Twitter from the delivery room, but I can’t text that fast. It would go something like this:

Amy: AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH! (labor pains)

Me: Wait, don’t go so fast. How do you capitalize letters on this touchpad?

Amy: AAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH! (spousal abuse)

Maybe we can teach Carter to do that part.

Congrats to Amy, who is currently doing all the heavy lifting.

I am so excited for your family. Zaphod if its a boy and Trillian if its a girl? School + new baby = pressure. I know you will make it. In fact, in my experience it is better than work + new baby. Keep us updated
