I admit that I'm a bit of a narcissist, although I like to think that it's more of a healthy disposition to how I look rather than an obsession. Regardless, I've been thinking a lot about aging lately, and have come to the conclusion that people are more like cheese than we generally let on.

Two reasons to be cheerful
These guys are Alec and Owen, our twin sons who were born on May 18, 2003. I'll write more about their long, hard journey to be born, and how we traveled it with them. For now, it's enough to note that these chaps will one day be fathers, too. And that these pages are for those of us in this generation who want to understand more about fatherhood, and being a bloke, a husband or a spouse in the 21st century.

For Ears
Goldfrapp: We Are Glitter
Goldfrapp's analog to PSB's "Disco", and just as enjoyable. (****)Pet Shop Boys: Fundamental
Their best production since "Introspective" and almost a complete return-to-form. "I'm With Stupid" and "Integral" light up the floor in front of your stereo, while "The Sodom and Gomorrah Show" recalls the best Frankie Goes To Hollywood moments. Meanwhile, "Casanova In Hell" will transport you to secret chambers where dark deeds receive warm laughs. Fantastic. (*****)
For Brains
Jim Haner: Soccerhead: An Accidental Journey into the Heart of the American Game
A fantastic odyssey through the history of American soccer, from the bright beginnings of immigrant-fueled company teams, through the glitz of the Pele/Best/Cryuff NASL era, the blackout of baseball and American football dominance, to today's resurgence at the feet of rabid, soccer-mad kids and the MLS. (*****)A.A. Gill: The Angry Island: Hunting the English
A.A. Gill is perhaps the angriest Englishman-in-denial that I've ever read. Methinks the critic doth protest too much, which just makes it a whole lot funnier.Eduardo Galeano: Soccer in Sun and Shadow, New Edition
South American-centric history of soccer, written in bite-sized chunks that are perfect for snacking on throughout the day. (****)
