A Little Dab'll Do Ya

SO ... I've been off the grid for at least a week now. I hadn't realized how much blogging is a force of habit, that once broken, is really hard to start up again.

I feel rusty. Or maybe that's tired. Maybe it's the baby waking us up every couple of hours (feels like minutes) in the night. He's a cutie and make no mistake (said the proud papa).

What have I been doing all this time? Not much that would interest you: changing diapers, snickering at the mustard yellow color, practicing the burrito baby wrap to make him all snug and cozy, getting that cramp back in my arm that can hold a young 'un for hours on end, looking for the binky (pacifier) when Momma isn't available, re-discovering my patented "Daddy pat" that can put any baby to sleep, and just holding and marveling and laughing at this awesome baby boy, that's what.

Like I said, nothing to you, but music to me.

We had some really great Name the Nodling entries that made it harder and harder to pick his cybernym. Must I pick just one? Awwwright. That's my prerogative. First I leaned this way, then that. But after due consideration the winning selection is (drumroll) ....


... Dab.

Reminds me of the old Brylcreem jingle "a little dab'll do ya".

Bryl-creem, a little dab'll do ya,

Use more, only if you dare,

But watch out,

The gals will all pursue ya,--

They'll love to put their fingers through your hair.

Bryl-creem, a little dab'll do ya,

Bryl-creem, you'll look so debonair.

Bryl-creem, the gals will all pursue ya,

They'll love to RUN their fingers through your hair.

Say hello, handsome!
