Still Waiting…
So much for early arrival. Today we set in between the two predicted due dates for our baby. The doctor predicted May 1; the Midwife predicted May 3. Lots of other people, Amy included, were of a mind that he’d be early but, nooooo…
Anyway, now you understand the title of this post. Sort of. Not only does the title accurately describe things in our household, it brings to mind a mantra from a Talking Heads song called Crosseyed And Painless. Here’s a live version of it from German Television in 1980:

It’s a pretty great song. I was only somewhat aware of it when Phish covered the Talking Heads’ album Remain In The Lightback in 1996. after that show, Crosseyed… slipped in and out of the setlists for the remainder of their pre-hiatus years. Here’s their take on the song (also from German Television!) from 1997-02-16:

Now you know the sound inside my head whenever I find that I am still waiting.
While We Wait… Radiohead
Radiohead played Conan O’Brien last night… sorta.
They taped an exclusive, in-studio, performance in London rather than fly to NYC for a one-off gig and expend gratuitous amounts of carbon.

Beyond the awesomeness of the above footage… no news to report.
Countdown
Don’t you hate a countdown? The anticipation (if it’s for something good) can be almost annoying.
You know what’s worse?
How about a countdown that’s interminable? The clock keeps ticking but, at any moment, may drop to zero.
That’s what we’re dealing with now at home. Cross your fingers and stay tuned!
Oh, and to my family and friends, if you do not have an account to the forums on rowjimmy.com, drop me a message and I’ll set one up so that you’ll be able to see all of the glorious photos.
