The Artist formally known as AP !!!

Finally, mum to be (Eileen) and I sat down to have the big discussion !
The negotiations were long and furious, involving softly muttered annoyances in an English accent and loudly screamed insults in Spanish - I'll let you figure it out...
Anyway, cooler heads prevailed and we have reached an agreement that we are both delighted with... Advanced Prototype can now lay aside his grandiose title for something more becoming - he will forever be known as...

The Return of Ernie Twum...

A few of you will be screaming in laughter at the mention of Ernie Twum. Quite possibly the worst manager I ever had the luck of working for and quite possibly a terrible person as well.

While here in India, I have been introduced to most of the senior management and have been able to build some relationships with some amazing people. People of vision and candor, thought and experience.
However, one in particular, has not been able to impress.

Absence and the heart ...

Since being married, Eileen and I have not been apart much. I can think of only a few occasions and none very long. In fact, the longer separations (nothing longer than two weeks) have been forced upon us by circumstance or emergency. Suffice to say, we never choose to be apart.

Bright lights, big city !

Today was the 4^th of July – Independence Day in the United States and a cause for celebration. Celebration of what, though? While politicians try to outdo eachother in making today a celebration of small government; lower taxes; large families; Paul Rivere’s ride (shout out to Sarah Palin); a hypothetical division of church and state – a few things occurred to me…

The Power of a Name...

So, the other day, I was floating around the mall trying to eat up time while Eileen checked every store in the mall for anything resembling quality pregnancy clothes. On my journey, I discovered something that I hadn't seen for some years and began quite a discussion and led us too far down a long road...

At last, the pictures...

To all who have been waiting for the newest ultrasound shots, apologies for the delay. Things have been quite crazy over here and spare time has been at a premium. Anyway, I have selected two shots from the last Ultrasound session. The rest are either much of the same or incredibly difficult to tell what is in there - the little guy was doing a Merengue !


At this point, Sanchito seems to be running through his martial arts training. Both hands are up and protecting the face. No, Deep, this does not mean that you can enter him for UFC training !



This might have been the only time that the little guy was lying still. I swear I get tired just watching him flipping around - I see lots of sports and stuff to get him tired.



Will follow with more posts.

Ultrasound Joy !

Today brought us Ultrasound joy,
