Late Nights and Fun with Electricity

The Phillies won last night and I couldn't be happier.
Nothing better than first place with a win over the dreaded Mets.
Extra innings and I fell asleep by midnight. Woke up tired and frustrated I didn't make it until the bottom of 13 but there will be other games.

The wife is getting really uncomfortable and the doctor is willing to "write her out of work".
This opens up the possibility of an extra week and a half off before the baby comes. This will not only do wonders for the morale around the ranch but also for our wallets come Christmas.

Christmas. I think that is what I'm looking forward to most about having a baby. The ability to pass on all of these traditions that mean so much to me now. I hope he grows up with the utmost respect for 7 fishes, the Bing Crosby Christmas Greats album, Charlie Brown, The Twilight Zone episode 'Night of the Meek and his family. I guess this whole experiment would be a success if all of that happened. I mean really what else could I ask for?

I've been thinking about Pumpkin Ale a lot recently. My top 5:
1. Dogfish Head - Punk'in Ale
2. Smuttynose- Pumpkin Ale
3. Saranac- Pumpkin Ale
4.Weyerbacher- Imperial Pumpkin Ale (this also happens to have my favorite label of all time)
5. Iron Hill- Pumpkin Ale

I'm on a mission to try as many Pumpkin Ale's as I can this year. Lets see how these parenting schenanigans play into this plan.

The B-Man is at camp today which means that I get to take a late lunch and spend the whole time in the car. I guess its worth it because the ol' man put in a ceiling fan in the nursery today. If you were wondering, yes it does make me feel like less of a man having my in-laws do maintenance work around my house but I'll be damned if you catch me doing that. Then after work were going to my brother-in-laws place so I can see their new kittens and try an Oktoberfest that I've never had before. I'm a big fan of baby animals and beer so I see this working out well for me.

Hopefully I'll get to watch 'The Lost' tonight. Man that was a good book
Baseball.
Maybe no movie till Thursday.

I just found out the new Gaslight Anthem album came out last week. If I was five years younger I would have been at Chester County Music the day it came out. Now I'm trying to justify spending the $10 to download it. Who am I kidding?
Soulseek.

Its starting to feel like Fall out. I saw my breath when I let Brodie out this morning.
I'm beyond excited.
