I've been absent and shirking my responsibilities as a blogging father. I sincerely apologize.

I have an excuse¹.

First of all there's the March of Dimes WalkAmerica. Between fund raising, trying to find sponsors for this years t-shirts, and speaking at the south bay events, I find very little personal time. The blog has suffered.

Second, there's the day job. I've got about a half-dozen projects, all in full swing. It's certainly nice to be needed but it makes my days a little long. I'm typicallly working until 8:30pm when it's time for number three...

Redding. He's still in the hospital, of course. You'll know when he's home because I'll post a nice picture of him and his sister, snuggled down for their naps. Dawn and I have been doing our part to get him home. Dawn's up to two visits a day and I've been going in the evening. The goal is to get him eating from the breast or the bottle so he'll be cleared to come home. He's up to five pounds and growing quickly. We just need to be able to feed him via the nipple - either kind.

And, that's it for now. I have some chores to complete and some work to do and, of course, it's Cinco de Mayo and that means fiesta!
