work-life balance

we've heard such a thing exists.

we are still trying to locate it. we think it might be one of those things like the yeti or the loch ness monster.

with two children and two parents working outside the home, life can be pretty crazy.

optimally it seems you'd strike the balance and it would be like standing on the middle of a teeter-totter. a little shaky sometimes, and definitely requiring some effort and concentration, but more or less an even keel.

sometimes the more apt metaphor is standing on a rolling log in a pool (you know, like you used to see on those "battle of the network stars" specials). you can stay upright, but you are endlessly running to stand still and eventually even the best of them (i.e. susan lucci) fall into the drink.

all this by way of saying that we have some updates to come. and as soon as they won't make us fall off the log, we'll bring them to you.

til then, amuse yourself by googling for youtube clips of "battle of the network stars" from the '80s.

'cause work-life balance don't come with no hyperlinks ...

  1. The YouTube-averse can simply wait until June 23 when Superstars returns to ABC! Terrell Owens, Jennifer Capriati, and a few others teamed with some serious D-Listers. Quality television.
