I'd like to put in a plug for Heather, new mother to Leta and continued font of endless entertainment to folks like me, who read her dooce.com blog. This particular passage almost made me LOL (Laugh Out Loud) for real and get caught slacking in between performing repetitive and mindnumbing tasks for an accounting firm that caters to the filthy-rich.

During conversation feedings I have to pull her off the breast several times, look her in the eye and say There is no talking in baseball, Leta. She’ll sober up immediately and get this look on her face that says Me? Talking? You must have mistaken me for that OTHER baby. And then she dives head first back into the breast and picks up where she left off at the bottom of page four where she and the breast were discussing the Democratic National Convention.

There's more I have to say, but it's quittin' time! One of my goals for 2004 is already coming true: I have more work than I can handle. Dammit... gotta be careful what I wish for!
