i know you've been wondering where i've gone! or been!
I wasn't in jail, or getting a sex change, or getting a sex change in jail.
My wife gave birth last week to a delightful little girl named Mira.
so i've been off, basically running interference between the baby and a very inquisitive french bulldog. because the baby hasn't gotten her shots, we can't let the little guy near her. so i'm basically keeping him busy while wife does that "other" stuff. its been a surreal amazing experience. Being superstitious, we didnt want to tell anyone until the baby was born. I would write more here, but i am literally on 24 hour emergency assistance - when Elena wants something I have to get it, or I get tazed.
As for Mira, she's got her mothers looks, and her fathers dislike for Brian Kilmeade. I turned on fox and friends this morning, and she cried incessantly until i turned it to something less disturbing (Dexter).
my guess is, i'll probably be back to work in the new year, no later.
but possibly sooner -who knows! this is a first time thing for us, so your guess is as good as mine!
thanks for being here in the gutter with me!

Thank you to everyone who shared recipes and helped keep my temporary “toaster oven, bbq, and crockpot era” alive. Here’s hoping to the kitchen face look flies by fast.

In 2008, Elon Musk was running out of time.
Three Falcon 1 launches had failed. More than $100 million was gone. Tesla was on the brink of collapse. He was borrowing money from friends just to pay his bills.
This photo was taken after one of those rocket crashes. No cameras. No speeches. No excuses. Just a man sitting in the wreckage, trying to figure out what to do next.
He had enough resources for one final launch.
The fourth Falcon 1 mission succeeded.
Days later, NASA awarded SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract. Around the same time, Tesla secured emergency funding just hours before the company would have missed payroll for over 1,000 employees.
Musk later described 2008 as the worst year of his life.
He never quit.
The next time you feel like giving up, remember the man sitting in that wreckage. Your breakthrough could be one more attempt away.
