A LITTLE BIRD
Sometime in the middle of October, The Steady and I dined on greasy cheeseburgers and french fries. Then we went to the movies and saw Burn After Reading. And then I yakked myself silly and we went to bed.
The next day I was feeling much better. I went for a nine mile run, came home and drank a can of PBR while I ate a bowl of kim chee. Soon after, The Steady and I went out on the parkway to throw the frisbee around. I puked again, only this time it was on someone's very well manicured boulevard tree. The pickled cabbage looked like so many bloody guts.
I pushed through the weekend in a profound malaise. I rolled through the week until Thursday, when I finally took a day off and went to the walk in clinic. I answered their questions and gave them the pee they requested. They came back to tell me that I have a little bird nesting in my womb.
You can imagine my surprise.

Congratulations. You're about to see life in a whole new way.
How long before the chick hatches?
On a side note, PBR? and after a nine mile run as well? Really??? :)

Thanks and thanks. I'm due June 19. And unfortunately, because of my new temporary medical condition I will have to put both the 9 mile runs and the PBR on hold.
