The creepy little thing was squirming for breath in a sea of milk.  I had just finished a bowl of that same cereal when she made the discovery.  It was bug free, <i>I think<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>She called the company responsible to explain her little crawling problem and they promised to send us some free coupons.  You could almost hear the wife&#8217;s stomach turn as the company representative queried her about the bug&#8217;s shape and color.  I tried to console her.  At least she didn&#8217;t find half a bug.<\/p>\n<p><b>My<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/football.fantasysports.yahoo.com\/f1\/show?page=roster&amp;lid=120916&amp;mid=4\">fantasy football team<\/a> notched their first win last night.   As I find out every year, fantasy football does wierd things to your football watching experience.  You may vote for a team or player you hate.  You might be timid about the success of a team you love.  A meaningless game suddenly becomes a fascinating matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, both my opponent and I had a stake in the Philly Tampa game.  Donovan McNabb would throw for his team.  I started Philadephia&#8217;s defense and Tampa Bay&#8217;s kicker.  My opponent wanted to see Donovan McNabb flash some skills.  I wanted to see a battle of field goals.  Philly 0, Tampa 3 would make me very happy.  The final score &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/sportsillustrated.cnn.com\/2003\/football\/nfl\/09\/08\/bucs.eagles.ap\/index.html\">Philly 0, Tampa 17<\/a> &#8211; was good enough.  Mr. McNabb, a very good quarterback, had a very bad day.  That&#8217;s too bad.  I like him as a player.  I just don&#8217;t like it when he plays against my team, fantasy or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><b>The wife<\/b> and I went shopping for a car seat yesterday night.  It only took us three stores to find one we liked.  She was focused on features and safety.  I was determined that it would match the truck.  Cambell didn&#8217;t seem to care.  He fell asleep as the sun set.  One of us has our priorities mixed up.  Don&#8217;t worry.  I&#8217;ll straighten her out.<\/p>\n<p>The new seat feels like a graduation of sorts for the little guy.  Daddy, I can stand up on my own.  I&#8217;m <i>this<\/i> close to crawling and I&#8217;m ready to amaze you next week with a host of new activities.  I think it&#8217;s time for a big boy seat.<\/p>\n<p>I hear ya boy.  Just don&#8217;t be in too much of a rush to grow up.  It won&#8217;t be long before Dad is asking you to mow the lawn and make your own breakfast.  Bug free, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning the wife found a bug in her bowl of cereal. The creepy little thing was squirming for breath in a sea of milk.
