I can feel the enthusiasm....yes, the baby is coming but so are the BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES!!!! Yeah, baby! Kent State will be crushed this Saturday night on ESPNU. Very exciting times indeed. One of the greatest gifts will be sharing this magical BC season with our new child. I am certain s/he will feel the same. I know Molly is on pins and needles as the season approaches and doubtless many of you are as well...for the latest up to date information on the Eagles, join the family on http://www.eagleaction.com/. Molly posts under the name "Flutieisahottie."
Today we had a surprise shower thrown by our office. It was really fun connecting with everyone from work and we had a great time. Dianne introduced me to goat cheese and honey on a cracker and it may go down as the life changing experience of this year (so far the baby experience has been very good but damn the cheese and honey combo...wow). Molly is doing great and is growing the baby (8+ pounds or bust!). Right after Molly started working from home, Princeton slipped from #1 to #2 in the US News rankings. Coincidence? I don't think so...I am glad for Princeton's sake that our mortgage requires her to return to work promptly in December. In the interim, I think she is going to work a "maternity job" at Larry's Sunoco up the street. She can put the baby in the Baby Bjorn carrier and have two hands free for unleaded pumping and cigarette sales.
The Olympics has still left a void in our pre natal lives, and we find the Democratic National Convention a poor substitute. We did enjoy catching Chelsea Clinton roll her eyes when her mother passed her a plastic American flag (Stanford grads don't do synthetic fabrics) to wave during her dad's speech. Does it make us bad Americans if we turn this off and watch our Tivo-ed Project Runway? To be fair, that show does have a democratic form of voting. Pat Boone just did a mortgage refinancing ad...are dead people doing endorsements now? We HAVE to change the channel.
Molly is reading something about the delivery process from a baby website- something about wearing men's briefs post delivery. Excuse me while I lose my dinner...man I cannot express how glad I am to have the dad role in this madness!
BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUTS- Matt Bracken yesterday and Patrick LeMay today. Two of the finest men walking the planet. Baby Dunne is lucky to have guys like this in the family...awesome role models.

Hilarious. I love anticipation station... love it. I am here in my office - laughing out loud... Cannot wait until BabyDunne becomes the next Baby Mule! Lots of love... Blog on! (BTW- I would love a shout out....)
Okay...just what I needed, some additional internet site to distract me from my true calling of making filthy rich companies even MORE money! Too funny...and Molly is a total trooper to put up with you. Any chance this baby will want to go to University of Louisville?
