Yeah so I have been pretty well slacking lately, and haven't been keeping up with either here or Purgatory, but here is an update.

To say it shortly, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

The baby shower went about as well as it could have. We were very well showered, with tons of stuff. That baby isn't going to want for anything. We got every piece of furnature and expensive stuff that we pretty much needed. The only things we did not get were assorted little things, that aren't going to be too difficult to pick up on our own. Right now our biggest problem is figuring out where to put everything. We even got bought a sweet digital camera, which has already a lot of pictures taken with it.

The party after the shower went just as well. Plenty of people came over and partook in plenty of revelry. Much beer and food was consumed, and a splendid time was had by all. It was great to see lots of people that we don't often get the chance to see anymore, and it was made even better that it was all in honor of such a happy occasion.

Then there was the final bit of good news, my best friend and his new wife are pregnant. It is very early on, but we are thrilled to death for them as well. Their due date is in May, so we are hoping to be able to make it down there for their shower.

Then on the downside is my Chicago White Sox. After sweeping the Cleveland Indians after the all-star break to go up 15 games, the Indians have gone 33-11 to gain back 12 1/2 games and get to within 2 1/2 games of the AL Central lead. Currently the Sox are in the middle of a key 3 game set with the Tribe, after dropping the first game of the series. It was a winnable one, as they blew a lead late. They did have a good showing rallying from down 4-0 to lead 5-4, but couldn't hold on. This is such a huge series for the Sox, as they cannot be swept.
