Winter Break
Alternadad will be coming out in two weeks. I've been anticipating its release for so long, I can barely believe it's here. I'm nervous. Of course I'm nervous. So nervous, in fact, that I can only write in cliches.
I don't know what the next year will bring, at all. But I do know that if it's anything like the year currently concluding, I'll be happy. It's been a great pleasure meeting hundreds, if not thousands, of readers and parents through this site. Long after "hipster parenting" goes the way of the Nehru jacket and goldfish swallowing, we're still going to be raising our kids, so it's good to have some like-minded people around. Being a parent can be alienating and isolating. The people who I've met through this site have made it a little less so, and I thank you all.
Great Alternadad-related adventures await. Whether you all come to see my tour events, or read the book, or just keep on with this site, I look forward to going through them with all of you. Now I'm bowing out of the blogging business until January 2. Hopefully, the Suns' incredible win streak will be intact when I return, and I hope you all will still be here as well.
So with that, I bid you hasta luego. From all of us, to all of you, Happy Holidays. See you in 2007.

Ouch. The streak ended less than 10 hours after your post, as you probably already know.
Now I must go a week and a half without a winning streak and without your blog.
Happy December!

Whatever you do, don't take any blogging breaks during the playoffs!
Have a great holiday and congrats on the book coming out.

Parenting my 5 yr old son, I usually feel like someone's spiked my cafe con leche with some really bad acid. My husband, other misanthropic mom friends, and strangers-like-yourself posting great stuff online are the only antidote.
Happy holidays to you, and thanks for the writing. We're looking forward to the book.
(It's cold and rainy here in Austin, FYI. Wish us luck as we brave the HEB for those last minute cookie ingredients...)
