Back When...

...my daughter was born, the DJ service I worked for gave me a night off.

When my son was born, I was working as an office temp during an incredibly difficult stretch of my life. The morning after he was born, I took the day off - and came home to a message from the temp service saying the "client" was incredibly pissed that I'd missed the day. I was back on the job the next day.

Just saying, it's nice when a working stiff can get two-plus weeks off.

No, not snarking. Just saying.

And a belated congrats, Nick and Laura.

Isn't a vacation for Nick, a vacation for us all? We can't say Nick Coleman never did anything for us.

Oh, so THAT'S why he's been so unearthly quiet. I almost feel bad for knocking him on my blog.

Almost.

Thank goodness we now have FMLA. When I adopted my daughter I could take 3 weeks off work! It was 3 unpaid weeks, but 3 weeks is 3 weeks.....actually that was all I could afford of life without a paycheck.

I'm curious, being aware of Nick's father's view of marital commitment, of the circumstances of Nick's previous marriage -- any context?

FMLA is a decidedly Democratic bill, I'm shocked, SHOCKED!! that you'd support it. But then again, conservatism is in part, an appeal to populism, but without realizing it. Mitch, you sound like a dang commie ;).

Nick's pop is long gone, and he dumped the Catholic part of his "Irish Catholic" tagline to take up with a run what ya brung outfit (probably the same time he dumped his Mrs. Coleman tagalong) so he's good to go with whatever comes down the pipeline.

'Course Nick will be 65 years old when the li'l nipper is 10, but hey, I'm sure that a nice rock in ol' Dad's chair will suffice in place of playing ball.

Dunno anything about Coleman's family history. AFAI know, it's not really anything I care to dig into, personally.

The past is the past. There's more than enough material in the present.
