Proof I leave the house occasionally
Boy, it’s been a while since I’ve been around here, eh?
A blog like this will go dry for one of three reasons: there’s nothing going on, and therefore nothing to write about, or there’s too much going on, and therefore I’ve no time to write about it, or I’m suffering some sort of blogging/writing ennui and therefore don’t want to write at all.
Or option number four: All of the above.
Most of our life over the last few months has been exactly what you would expect life with a new baby to be like: feeding, crying, sleeping, and dealing with the baby’s feeding, crying and sleeping. And while I find absolutely everything Sana does to be enthralling, I recognize that not everyone else is tuning into this frequency of the Internet to read about me babbling on about how absolutely brilliant, beautiful and awe-inspiring my daughter is.
Even if I wanted to write about that (which I do, believe me) I didn’t have the time because my
In addition to that, Sana has started at daycare (breaking my fragile heart) and I have started a new job.

Me too! Every single instance of "Fatima" makes me laugh. I think it has something to do with the near-rhyme - it's as if Amynah has been turned into eczema or a marina.
But that can't be all there is to it, because Karina wouldn't be quite as funny as Fatima.
Hey Mark, there's an idea, maybe your wife could have a different name in each posting: Fatima, Karina, Melena, Aliza, Regina, Louina, Marina, Luisa, Rowena, and preferably some impossible made-up names like Zrbvlina. Do you think the readers would notice? What about the editors?
And here I'd been worrying that you'd fallen victim to those Prussian centenarians.
