Of Insanty and Paid Leave

It's been a while since checking in with Thing 1, but that doesn't mean things haven't been stirring. The idea of any strictures at all — in this case a set time for lights and electronics off — is apparently insanely unsettling. Or that's what I would have said until reading that Tipperary's Paul Lane was found innocent by reasons of insanity of shooting and killing his father, who was otherwise engaged in watching the Minor All Ireland Hurling Final. Between the fear that it was actually his father trying to kill him, as well as the unsettling TV voices talking about him, Lane was clearly unsettled. ... and so I must vow to be more careful in setting bedtimes for 1 and maybe Thing 2, as well.

In other pop news, Tiger Woods is a daddy for the second time and,, if a Russian court has its way (and he moves) he could be eligible for federally mandated paid paternity leave from work.
