I'm an uncle!
AND, started a cool new job...both today. Wow, what a cool kick-off to the week.
First, my little sister (okay, she's 31) just gave birth - less than two hours ago - to a cute little baby girl named Breckyn Delaney. The baby is happy and healthy and a little cutie-pie. Mom and dad are fine too, but exhausted.
"Uncle Paul"...I like the sound of that.
And I started what promises to be a pretty interesting, cool job at a magazine for rare and collector's coins. It's all Mac-based, working on a snazzy G4, the latest versions of all the Adobe stuff, etc.
Good pay, cool casual atmosphere, a decent drive, flexible hours. And it's something kinda new because I know NOTHING about coins and all that stuff, but it's always fun to learn something new or get into a new area a bit. So far, I've combined design/illustration skills with the real estate, automotive, newspaper, book publishing and greeting card fields. Rare coins? Sure, why not.
Anyway...what a day. A powerful "one-two" punch of a day, to say the least. But very cool and happy. I'm sipping a beer right now and eating some chips and salsa, just kinda slowly coming down from it all.

Hope you done the lottery too... three in a row
On Sunday, for some reason, I'm standing there and I grab a pencil and choose the numbers myself.
A sign, perhaps?
We'll see. If I win, I know someone who's going to have a 17" PowerBook by this weekend. Screw the 12" iBook...
I don't hear that name often - I have a neice named Delaney.
I know... pull out the plastic and order that new iBook, and what the hell, throw a 15 GB iPod in there for good measure. It is after all, your day.
Oh, and you're not stuck with Uncle Paul. My neices call me Uncle God. Easy to manipulate. heh heh
Uncle Paulie. Nice.
[DeNiro mode]What? What'd you say?!? You showin' your Uncle Paulie some disrespect?[/DeNiro mode]
Uncle Paulie it is.

If I win the lottery, I'll fly to Cupertino and pick one up from Apple themselves and have Steve autograph it with a Sharpie. How's that?
Anyway, I hope you live close to them, cuz I kind of have noticed that uncles and aunts can be really important in someone's life. Especially if they're immoderately cool. Like a certain aunt and a certain uncle I have, or like I am, or like you are (if I am allowed to be the judge), mr. pscates, albeit that you are of the lesser political faith.
I've got 10!
I've got 10!
Is that one kid for each of your 2 brothers' 5 wives you crazy Mormon.
"Come play with us, Adam, forever and ever and ever."
In protest I just worked on my own stuff on my powerbook today
This way I don't need kids of my own, I can just borrow them from my brothers or sisters a couple times a year and go do fun uncle stuff like playing hockey or baseball, or dunking them in the ocean. Seriously, they're a lot of fun most times. If you're even a little bit lenient you become the instant "good guy" and the parents become the "bad guys"...bwaa hahahahaha. Revenge!
Congratulations.
