Also been away because my job was having me commute 100 miles (one way) each day. Now, I'm on leave and will be getting a different job closer to home (should be on at more reasonable hours).
Congrats! My buddy added a baby girl to his family yesterday too! Yikes, what a long commute. It'll be nice to have a much shorter one, you won't know what to do with the extra time .
Congrats Asha! I couldn't imagine 100mi one way.. Lots of audiobooks or satellite radio, I'd imagine.

Oh satellite radio... NPR... an indie/punk station... techno... european news (not BBC)... german death metal (screeching fits in german, I guess).
It all helped to stay awake on the long drive.
Both baby and mama are doing great. My youngest son said to her: "me smooch you" and gave her a kiss, then turned around, stuck his butt towards her and said "me poop on you!" and ran off.
