05.21.08 On being a manny

So people have been asking me: "What do you do that makes you so busy?"

I tell about things like 2nd Story or designing a clients new logo or writing my new piece for UR Chicago or watching, obsessively, Sex and the City previews. But one of the best things I get to do with my time is be a faux parent or a "manny" if you will.

Caleb is Megan's and Christopher's new baby. Once a week I get to come over for a bit and hang out while Megan has to go teach. We talk and philosophize and we even watch America's Next Top Model(in which Caleb totally agrees that Tyra's poses are tired).

In an effort to be more like Josh, I created a video blog of an average time with Caleb. Now, I'm no Michel Gondry when it comes to editing, but dude, I at least tried. No one can be like Josh. No one.
