Humor: If my work blog and this blog were more integrated, this cartoon might be even closer to the truth. I thought it was funny.
Parenthood: Few would describe me as a risk-taker, but I found myself nodding my head when reading this essay about how becoming a father really changed the writer’s behavior. I’ve been chided for not ever thinking about what bad things might happen, and it’s true that I am general optimist about my own life (I end up worrying too much about the little stuff instead). But I’m more aware of being careful now that I’m a father. Probably doesn’t make any difference in the long run.
