This is a test unlike any other. Its a whole new level. Fatherhood is really Sisyphus rolling the rock. Sisyphus in the Boston heat and humidity. I only grasp it from being the receipient of the naked wrath of Giant Mom.

And the Monster Seedling, the author of all this bad dream stuff is a cute and squishy, smiley faced little infant boy named Milo. Its all very comic. One has to giggle, giggle heartily in the company of infant children. The requirements for perpetuation of the species are high. Grace calls it all good for the soul.
