Why won’t you sleep?
For the most part, I can’t really complain about how Noah sleeps. He usually falls asleep easily, and sleeps through just about anything, it seems. Given how much Andrew fought sleep at the same age, I should be extremely grateful for any sort of improvement, and I am. However, Noah has had a rough night or two over the past few days, so I have had to get up a couple of times a night to go pat or rock him to get him to go sleep: Stumble in the room; Start the classical CD playing again; Re-insert the pacifier (which I hate using, btw, but what do you do?); Starting patting or rocking. This morning at around 2:00 or 4:00 (you lose track eventually), as I was losing feeling in my arm from patting, listening to the CD and praying he’d drift off, I got to thinking, “Noah, the sooner you learn that you’re supposed to fall asleep when classical music plays, the happier we’ll both be.” 😉

Governor Henry, Illegal immigration and Abortion
Governor Henry recently did something that was, for me, quite unexpected: he signed into law illegal immigration legislation described as “nation’s most sweeping attempt to deny jobs and public benefits to illegal immigrants,” for which I applaud him. Despite this good decision, though, not all of the Governor’s actions are commendable. He recently vetoed Senate Bill 714 over fears of “unintended consequences.”
Oddly enough, groups like La Raza and the ACLU are wont to file lawsuits against this sort of immigration legislation due to, among other things, the “unintended consequences” regarding the children of those here illegally. Given the likely legal challenges both bills were or are likely to face, there must be something else driving Governor Henry’s veto of SB 714. One thing is clear, though: In Oklahoma, it’s OK to gamble or kill your preborn child, but, before doing so, you had better make sure you’re in the country legally.

RSS Killed the Web Browsing Star
One of the outlets/time-killers for office works the world over is browsing the web, and I’m certainly no exception. There are times when you just need a break, and hitting the various news and geek news sites often does the trick for me. There is, though, a technology that has become increasing popular over the last few years that has managed to ruin things for me: RSS.
