It must have been a conspiracy! I was watching football last night and trying to work at the same time on the laptop, when suddenly I was left without an internet connection. If I was corresponding with you or taking to you via IM, I was not actually being rude!

Now I have had many threats from Mrs. G that she intended to take away my internet if I didn't spend more time with the kids, with her, and with the sheets on our bed, but she was there next to me and I would have noticed if she had cut the wires. I have yet to find out why I lost my connection and was without email and internet, and now suddenly my ISP is not answering the phone. I'm certain it's a conspiracy of sabotage!

On another note, I'm getting lots of excellent entries into The Genuine Shaggies! It's not too late to enter your shaggable 5! I'll be linking to each of the entries and hopefully sending everyone around to look at your posts.

Finally, I wanted to take an opportunity to introduce another daddy blogger I have recently found and wanted send those of you that don't already read him over to his site. Dutch has me often shaking my head in agreement and chortling at things that I have experienced but cannot seem to put into eloquent words. As an example:

Things have been a little contentious around our little apartment lately. Wood and I are getting along fine, and little Juniper is as sweet as ever. And yet some nights I just can't help but feel that there is a pugilistic contest of epic proportions taking place on the squared circle inside our bedroom, the mat inside Juniper's crib. It's a wooden-doweled cage match to the death. No Holds Barred.

Go over and read his blog and let him know that Genuine recommends this daddy blogger!
