Katie 6, Patrick 0

by Joe Doyle on May 30, 2007

You name a part of the body that excreets stuff, and Katie has labelled me with it. Six times. Today it was projectile vomit.

So gross.

But ole Paddy boy seems to like his dad. While others have complained of a “forceful stream”, I’m lucky enough to stay dry.

I must be the fastest diaperer in Austin.

Kinda creepy

by Joe Doyle on May 29, 2007

Got a call last week. Apparently one of the nurses at Seton in the labor and delivery area has/had the whooping cough and people were exposed.

If you’re like me, the first thought is “who the hell gets whooping cough? Isn’t that an ancient disease?”

Who knows.

But for anyone who visited us in the hospital, please rest assured…we called today and they tracked the nurse’s daily moves and patients. She never came into contact with us or Katie and Patrick.

The Minnesota Pirhanas

by Joe Doyle on May 28, 2007

Today I’m working in my office, listening to Ed Farmer call the White Sox game over the internet. Then Katie cries, so I decide to feed her in front of the TV with the MLB Extra Innings feed (today it’s out of Minnesota).

It’s always interesting to hear what other baseball people think of your team. Usually you get good insight on how your team’s players might be improving or on the decline.

But these Minnesota idiots – all they could do was latch on to one thing Ozzie Guillen said last August. He called the team pirhanas, because they’re vicious and always attacking. In my mind, a compliment. But to Minnesota fans (damn I hate all Minnie-soda fans), it was fuel for the fire. Signs everywhere today. Announcers on board. Even ten months later (it takes a while for things to catch on up dere).

I think Ozzie should stop feeding their frenzy (yeah right, good luck). But most of all, I think it’d be nice if the Sox actually started to play small ball like those pirhanas. I envy it.

Hometown Baghdad

by Joe Doyle on May 28, 2007

Yesterday I came across a news story about these webisodes. So I looked them up and started to watch. Over two days I made it through all of 30+ of them. They’re short (2-4 minutes), but they give us great access into the lives of people living in Iraq. Well, middle class fellas, anyway.

Description from the site:
The brave Iraqi subjects and crew risked their lives every time they turned on a camera to make this series. They want to show the world what life is like when your hometown is a war-zone.
