Job Hunt

Um after a female porn star is mentioned, are your hands idle any longer?

 

Actually, I took my hands outside to play some whiffle ball. My 4-year-old son took a left-handed cut on the first pitch I threw that sent me into defensive mode. I twisted up, protected my face, squeezed my eyes shut. When the sting didn't come, I looked behind me to discover that he slammed a shot across the yard and over the corner of the house. It probably only went 30 feet, but it was the loft, man.

If he keeps this up, perhaps I won't need a job in 14 years. This has been an odd twist. I got MLB 07 The Show for Christmas, and he's been playing with me. I spent Christmas with friends watching a few football games. Now, instead of asking for Spiderman or Bugs Bunny cartoons or Blues Clues, he's telling his mom he wants to watch "sports" at night before bed. (He has his own 17-inch TV in his room.)

 

Man, if I could spend all of my time not working and just hanging out with my 4-year old son, I'd just do that. It sounds like you're living the good life. Hang onto that until the kid goes to school, if you can.

 

You're correct. This is the good life. In fact, I'm going to head to bed now and spend all of Wednesday with my kids. I don't intend to check my e-mail, post here or do anything other than spend the day with them. After all, I won't get the opportunity to do that for many more days.
