    We got a call yesterday saying that Schmitty did pull through the surgery. That’s good news. The bad news is – the really bad news – is that Schmitty’s cancer has spread, which means he doesn’t have much time left and the time he does have left, as well as its quality, is probably going…

    This is Schmitty. He’s currently in the hospital with colon cancer. So we packed up his favorite bath mat and drove into the city to visit him. I took pictures. I got Schmitty when I was 19-years-young. I am now 33. You do the math. He’s probably the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. For those…

    Looks like the Supreme Court took advantage of the Virginia shootings and upheld a federal law that bans partial birth abortions.

    In January, The Barbarian Group gave me the opportunity to do some identity work. I would have agreed to work on anything related to logo design, but when I found out whom this particular mark was for I jumped at the chance. Let me begin by saying that I love doing identity work. My portfolio…

    The UPS man came to our house yesterday. I did a double take to make sure he wasn’t wearing a Santa suit. I am still a little speechless about the whole ordeal, muted by generosity. My sister-in-law, Melissa, sent us a huge box filled to the brim with baby clothing. I waited until Tobyjoe got…

    Sometimes he stands directly in front of and at the foot of the TV. I keep telling him it’s not good to sit so close but he never listens. He loves this show and it cracks me up that he actually watches it.

    Underneath the thick, white layer of blubber that was once my belly is a new hardness, a hardness made up of baby, placenta, amniotic fluid and maybe a little bit of muscle. After 20 weeks, the amniotic fluid consists mainly of urine, which means my belly is full of baby, placenta and urine; urine that…
