I was meaning to do this last week, but many things got in the way. A new strip will be coming this Friday, but in the meantime, it’s time for a bit of “catch-up.” So here are the current, NormalityRestoredHooliganFutbolLeague standings, according to the official NRHFL scorecard…

currently, ManU (my club) is behind, but not as badly as it could be compared to the current record for Kilian’s club… luckily, this is still early in the season. Time will tell, time will tell. Until then, back to work!… *sigh*

So, today, we had something of a slight scare regarding the heir to the mighty Giglrim fortune. Luckily, the crisis was averted and it seems that everything is natural, well and the way it should be ^__^ So yay! In fact April and I were able to get a Ultrasound of our whee one a little bit earlier than was initially planned. So here it is, for those what wish to see
the next step in human evolution.

The Gilgrim family baby

April and I have been watching the box set DVDs of Heroes, so needless to say, it is April’s understanding that the baby will have some sort of ‘special ability.’ Currently, the debate is exactly what that special ability will be… any thoughts?

Right now, what we do know about the baby is that it is healthy, jumps like a jumping-bean (we saw it, trust me!), has no immediately discernible siblings, and is too young for us to tell the sex.

Happy and proud papa of an under 4cm life form

My presence has been, shall we say, minimal of late. Many reasons for this.

First and foremost, the daughter got chicken pox, then croop, then an ear infection all in the same month. Somehow during the most recent illness both mom and I also got sick.

As one of the more recent strips alluded to, I began school again.

Also, I started a new job.

Plus, it appears that Time Warner, under no circumstances whatsoever, wants me to give them money for cable tv and internet access. I have tried pleading with them, yelling, crying, I even offered to bake and Fed Ex them some cupcakes but all to no avail. They are dead set on never coming into my place of residence and installing said cable. My wife asked the other day, “Do we have a cable bill yet?” to which I replied, “What the hell can they bill us for, they haven’t provided any type of service.” Apparantly, they are content with heedlessly pushing back our installation date wily-nily. At this rate, I fully expect to have my cable modem installed sometime around April 2009.

Anyway, as a sort of piece offering for my flagrant absense I offer the following slice of internets goodness as a peace offering.
