But the big news tonight is not that I'm still up at this Ungodly Hour, but that tomorrow night I most CERTAINLY will be, as the wifey and I are headed to Memphis to see Wilco perform on Mud Island, sans kiddos. They will be in the comfort and companionship of an overnight sitter that we have hired (one of my daughter's daycare teachers to be exact). Which means, for the FIRST time since mid-December 2009, my wife and I will be able to spend a night ALONE without waking up a dozen times to tend to the needs of our offspring (with a room at the Peabody, no less). I think I'll be alternately terrified and liberated by this development. I'll let you four or five readers of this blog know how it goes on Monday. In the meantime, Kerry Wood of my all-time favorite Chicago Cubs retired today. If injuries hadn't derailed his career in the late 1990's and 2000's, who know how good he could have been. Here's the highlight to end all Kerry Wood highlights:

Friday night update
It is amazing what I now consider "late". The kiddos have been down for hours and my wife has been asleep since 9:30 as she prepares to run tomorrow morning's Dino Dash 5K, but I'm still up, enjoying a glass or two of red wine before I hit the hay. And, really, 10:30 is late for me nowadays with all the up-at-6:30 and being a father and all that jazz. In The Oldendays (trademarked phrase), 10:30 was nothing. Now, its the witching hour. Funny how times have changed.
