I went to a hospital orientation with Ali tonight -- something they put on for expectant parents (for some reason I never thought of myself as an 'expectant parent' - before tonight)... It suddenly hit me -- I'm going to be a DAD again -- but there's like a 20 year lag in between. How does that happen? I had these visions of riding my motorcycle around the world - working on a really cool photo project - hanging out with rock stars - supermodels - and generally not knowing what day it is...

Back to reality --- holy schniikers! We're about 6 weeks away from it all happening!

Truth-be-told -- I've never been so excited - or at least I can't remember when -- it was soooo long ago - I just can't quite remember what it was like --

I'm ready -- yep -- I am - I'm at least ready to shoot lots of photos (Ali has made me SWEAR I wouldn't post the labor / birth shots) -- my goal is to have 35K images of Baby Traces by the time she reaches 18 - about the time she'll have her first date... Then -- we'll have a big slide show for all suitors -- the one who stays through the whole show is her man...
