Go ahead, try to wrap your head around it...

Today is my daughter's first birthday. Less than two years ago the most important thing in my life was Spider-Man comics and getting enough money for video games from whatever job I could scrounge up. Now I'm a father trying to build someone into a better human being than I ever was, trying to teach life lessons that I never learned, and trying to find money to pay a babysitter.

Yeah, try to wrap your head around how wierd and old I feel. I laugh, and yet I am puzzled and a little bit afraid.

No wonder I'm not around as much anymore, when I have free time I either sleep, or try to pretend I still have a life that includes Spider-Man comics and video games.

It's a good life, can't wait till it stops feeling like a new pair of shoes.
