no success in business…

I know that I’m starting this from a potentially (probably hugely) flawed premise, but let’s just run with it.

Assumed: Men that are very successful in business often times are less than successful at home (i.e.: broken marriages, children that are a terror, etc.).

Most of the time, people assume the family is a mess because of the business. What if, in some situations, it’s the other way around? Isn’t it equally possible that the family itself is so unimaginably horrible that the man throws himself full tilt into the business?

Why do we automatically assume the former when it could just as easily be the latter? Well, at least I assume the former…

Ambr on Flickr (uh, again)

Ambr on Flickr

What’s different? Well, the link to all the photosets is now a tad bit easier to remember:

I’ve also added some more sets from pre-Amber days: both the Heber and local baby showers. Enjoy.

Ambr on Flickr

In the name of all that is well and good about laziness, I have gotten me a special Flickr account and put together the Amber photo set. As new pictures are taken, this album will be updated so keep an eye on it.

the grape has a name

At 6:06 am this morning, the testMonkey clan welcomed its newest member: Amber Christina… er… testMonkey. She weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz. Momma and baby are doing great and seem to be getting along just fine (none of that “mother eating their young” nonsense here -no sir!). See for yourself:
