... by any other name


While I have failed to keep with my ideal posting record, I am trying to keep up. You know how it is. When life is organized with even the slightest semblance of structure, it is easy to keep with routine. When chaos takes the place of structure, even the simplest of tasks can fall by the wayside. Laundry piles up; the dishes grow little green and white things; and blogs fail to keep with current events. But I digress…


As my last post mentioned, our boy will be Alberto Antonio Colabella il Quarto. However, we had some trouble settling on what we would actually call him. Ab would be kind of confusing in the household seeing as how there would be two of us. Albert is not quite en vogue with the times… it will probably take about 30 years for that to happen. We have settled on Anthony. It is a good name I think. The Wife is insistent that no one call him Tony, and I happen to agree. Nicknames, of course, are welcome, and I would love to hear some preliminary ideas in the comments section. In fact, Adam has already settled on Q, which, quite frankly, kicks some serious ass.


I will be back, hopefully soon, and next time I will take it easy on the italics.
