9 out of 10 monkeys believe they are not behind glass

My wife doesn’t know it, but she is actually the subject of a reality show called The Great Baby Experiment. Every year they pay me to make sure she has a baby and document the results to the hilarity and joy of audiences everywhere.

Today was day 1 for baby 3. I get to head home and review footage. Is she insane? Has she decided to throw in the towel? Will she be begging for baby 4? It is a mystery!

But not really. I know what is a waiting me. Chaos. A FEMA disaster site. The background for many wartime photojournalists. Dietrus and rubble spread around in liberal amounts, the shaken survior looking bleakly at the horizon of what tomorrow will bring.

Horror in black and white. Oversaturated colors and underlit spaces. A white flag fluttering softly in the wind, raised upon a push-along duck sitting in a pile of unfolded laundry.

Hopefully I will be able to get a peck on the cheek before I am taken by the typhoon that is my family and circumstance.
