Substance

I haven't gone through this long of a blog drought in a while, so I figured I should post something to get started again. 

Work is ... whether product liability defendant can seek common law indemnification against a non-product liability co-defendant under a particular statutory scheme... whether the exclusion in the insurance contract means there is no duty to indemnify... whether a guy can show aggrievement from the denial of a permit when he's self represented and the the permit is in the name of his sole proprietor corporation... whether the guy who pleaded guilty to escape sex offender registration status has to register anyway... whether seasonal employee who quit because he was hired back at lower wage could collect unemployment... whether a district's voting scheme violates the Constitutional guarantees for equal protection... whether the prison employee is immune from suit of a prisoner who sued claiming the employee stole his soap....  In short, it continues to be varied and challenging and interesting.

Angelfish has three teeth on the bottom and one tooth on top, but the top tooth is off to the right. It is not one of the two front teeth.  So she has the funniest lop-sided smile -- I call it snaggletooth.  It won't be like this for long. She had a fever and stayed home with Bullshark one day this week. I was jealous of him.  She's so huggy when she's not feeling her best.

Clownfish ran a half mile race against a bunch of other kids -- about half the field was his age or older -- and he came in first place.  He's been going to Bullshark's gym.  He's been trying to climb one of those knotted ropes with some success.  He can jump onto an approximately 20 inch box. Yeah... he's not getting any raw athletic ability from my genes.  But he reads like a demon and has freckles on his nose, so I feel as if I've contributed in some way to his awesomeness.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant or so.  Nausea and strong gag reflex still going strong.  I find out the gender in two weeks.  I'm feeling girl.  I'm kind of hoping boy.  We're pretty settled on a boy name.  Really up in the air for a girl name.  All the ones I (presently) like are either taken by close family or have negative associations among close family.  I'll probably have to "come out" at work soon too.  Not nearly as anxiety-producing this time, though.

What's anxiety-producing is whether we can afford for me to take time off... and whether, with the cost of daycare already eating half of my meager salary, we can afford for me to go back to work.
