Details, details...
Chris had it mostly right. We did get about 3 hours of sleep, on and off, before we called the midwives to come over. But it felt like 1 hour. It was hard to sleep through the contractions, and we were excited, too. The other minor detail that he had wrong was that I wanted to push while I was in the tub. When Kim heard that, she said, "we can't have a baby in the close quarters of the bathroom, you'd better come into the bedroom." I was so sad to get out of the tub. Anyways, he remembers a lot of stuff that I don't, so I guess together we could make up the whole story pretty well (not "make up," but you know... "complete"). Luckily we have a 6 or so hour video of most of it, so we don't have to remember all the details.

I am considering what many in this part of the world would consider the unfathomable. I am looking for constructive comments, ideas, advice or any other form of input you can think of to help me sort this quandary out. Please E-Mail me your thoughts, if at all possible, as I would like to take the time and really evaluate any input you may have ( hint, if you don’t have my E-Mail I’m listed on www.mysolomonsporch.com ). I am toying with the idea of living out of my vehicle. Now I’ll try to explain how I got to this point of view, as you may now understandably think I’ve collectively lost my mind. First off let me tell you that in the warmer months I almost live out of my truck to some degree as it is. When it’s comfortable to do so I will often spend the night in my vehicle in the cities as it’s simply more efficient and economical (I’m generally utilitarian in nature by default) then driving back and forth when I work late and get tired or need to be in the cities early the next day (I hate early morning meetings, never mind bad traffic). Scott http://slimcontact.blogspot.com/ earlier this week was talking about famous people http://www.carliving.com/intro_celebs.html that lived out of their car to springboard ahead in life. Flash forward to Sunday night and due to Rachel’s http://www.patronsaintofulster.blogspot.com/ near death experience I explain that I share some of her concerns and explain why I am private about my place of residence. In later discussions that same night Sarah http://www.sarahsampedro.com/ said something to the effect of she thought I lived out of my car. Later that night a few of us were talking about alarm clocks and I mentioned that I liked to keep mine on the other side of the room so that I would have to get up and walk across the room to shut it off. Luke http://generalben.blogspot.com/ said that he couldn’t envision me staying in my house and that he always pictured me in my truck. I try to live very simply so that it exponentially allows me to help others with what resources I have at my disposal. I anticipate that I will have more time, money and resources in general available to me if I make this move as this will greatly reduce my overhead (which I try to keep low as it is). I figure now is the time to do this if there was ever a time as I am currently single and it would allow me to save to buy a house or do something more philanthropic than I may otherwise be able to do. Oddly about my only concern in making this move is that it may affect my chances at developing a solid relationship or attracting for that matter a respectable girlfriend as someday I would like to have a family God willing. However I have always been of the mentality that if someone were to truly love me for me they should meet me at my worst. If someone were to meet me at my worst they would be amazed at how well I clean up and what I am able to provide. I intentionally am rather street and ragged (which is only one aspect of me but generally the least accepted) in the presence of most non-corporate settings almost as an ongoing social experiment if you will. I use this litmus test to see who is really a true friend that invests time to get to really know and except me thereby filtering out friends of convenience or with ulterior motives and most superficial people by design. Well if you don’t know me and have read this far congratulations, you know a bit about me now. Well here comes the real part, decision time for me. Please help me by sending me E-Mail with any thoughts, comments, concerns, etc. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer in this matter.
Peace & Love, Erik =)
