AUBREEVISION - Observations from the far side of the dial

Inspired to post after reading the fantastic news of baby Nathan's safe arrival to Mindsay's own ameriadian. Congratulations to the newly minted mama and papa. Hard to believe you were living down the hall and decidedly un-pregnant just over a year ago!

I've no real reason for my blog-neglect of recent months beyond wildly skewed priorities -- mainly, a chronic penchant for neglecting relationships, creative impulses and anything remotely life-enhancing. Ameriadian's post made me acutely aware of how woefully out of touch I've become with the ins and outs of friends' lives -- for months I've intended to catch up on her pregnancy progress as relayed on Mindsay, and now the wee'un's done gone emerged!

So thanks to young Nathan for delivering a figurative boot to the head -- welcome to the world, small wonder. Here's to new beginnings!
