One month in.
Just a few observations a month into parenthood:
- If it weren’t for digital cameras, we’d have probably spent a 2nd mortgage worth of money on film by now. Thank you technology.
- Things you can safely add to the list of stuff that washes right off microfiber: milk, puke, poop.
- Comcast replays all the days Philly sports games through the dead of night. Very nice. You can only watch so much of the endless SportsCenter loops.
- Also sports related: not tired baby = I’ve pretty much seen every game of the NBA and NHL playoffs. She’s either going to be a huge sports fan, or be absolutely sick of them by the time she can work the remote.
- There’s something wrong with you if you think taking the placenta home is a good idea. Something seriously wrong with you if you want to take it home to eat it. I saw it in the hospital, I liken it to a bloody jellyfish on a string, and that will be the extent of my involvement with that thing.

Although Ben is probably photographed more times a day then most of us are in an entire year, very few people can get him from this angle. (Taken from Sanjay's office with his D70, I definitely need a DSLR now!) Ben on the Bench](http://cdn.goettner.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/BenOnTheBench-1024x680.jpg)

Time for some math (results rounded for human consumption)! That means I've driven the car just shy of 35 miles a day on average for almost 8 yea... 100,000 Miles on the WRX!](http://cdn.goettner.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_01921-300x279.jpg)
