Creative writing…
Creative writing Well, all of my files that I sent home from Verizon Wireless were eaten.

Here I am, Baby…
Here I am, Baby… I am sitting in an office. Not a cube. A full-fledged, four walled, closeable door office. I don’t even have a roommate. I think I’m gonna like it here. I actually teared up a bit when I sent my “goodbye” email to Verizon yesterday. Then I saw my manager for the …

Nicknames
Nicknames One of the things that’s amazing is how quickly we have given Jacob nicknames to describe his behaviors. One of the first was “Burrito Boy” in reference to the way he was swaddled and wrapped up like a Chipotle special. We’ve since gone down the road of “Urples” (from his cooing/crying), “Billy Goat” (from …
