Conga-Rats!! JPEG? Things I’ve learned since 7/18/01 1. sleep is overrated 2. Even though it SEEMS that more matter comes out the posterior, than enters through the mouth…this is some time-space continuum thing that really can’t be explained. 3. Being a dad is the real deal. 4. Be nice to mrs bricker…it’s the best gift you can give BrickerJr. Lots of people will want to see BrickerJr. One of your jobs is to act as gatekeeper…and keep things managable 5. see #3 Let us know how things progress…and again…congrats! ---

Whoooooo HOOOOOO! Welcome Baby Bricker. Can I call him Bubba? 🙂 Ignore what every one says about sleep. It is not getting \*less \*sleep, it is about learning how to sleep in \*shorter \* intervals. Sleep, pretty much , is overrated. You will never travel light again. ---
