Jack Kaden

Did you know it was raining on Sunday in NYC? Specifically on 62nd and Columbus where we couldn’t find the stupid registration center, or even Nina’s parents? It was a sad day in volunteer land (damn that rain!) - but a big deal in saving baby land, because, with the help of all you lovely people we raised $1610 for team DandyJack. I think we get a t-shirt, but you? You all get the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped someone else, and hopefully prevented a baby, or a family from heading down a very scary road.

Jack braved the March for Babies well. He put up with the wet ankles and the mobs of people who didn’t care that we were “pushing a baby here people!” But, he was fussy and oddly warm. By the time we got back home after walking about 3 blocks it became clear that he had contracted some kind of stomach flu. Don’t ask how we know, because Dudes? We just do.  He’s still on pedia-lite as I type. Pedia-lite and graham crackers, the sustenance of kings…

In closing, I would like to apologize to the family that I snorted at and referred to as wimps, for advertising their 4 pound “miracle” on their team t-shirts on Sunday (no, they didn’t hear me).  Just because my miracle was 2 pounds 4 ounces doesn’t mean yours was any less miraculous… so. I am sorry.
