One hell of a Christmas Present
1:47am on Christmas Morning brought our second child - a baby boy named "Declan". He was 7 pounds, 6 ounces, 20 inches long. Thinking that having a Christmas baby just wasn't quite unique enough, my wife "decided" to make the birth a bit more exciting by throwing a prolapsed cord into the mix - one emergency C-Section later, and our beautiful baby boy was born. Everybody is healthy and doing quite well.
Father (that would be me) is exhausted, and once I publish this, I'm going to bed. Little sleep in nearly 48 hours - with the all the excitement... and just for fun, throwing Christmas in the mix - has got me pretty much wiped out. :)

Bookmarks
As I sit here in my web browser, I just finished making another new "catch all" links folder for bookmarks I've created in the past couple of months. I now have six of these, and in them are all kinds of interesting sites that I've found/read about that were intriguing enough to want to not forget about.
How do other people handle this? I used to organize them all nice and neat, had a really good system for tracking everything, but I suppose I just got lazy since it always seemed like the site I was bookmarking was unique in some way. I have really important/regularly-used bookmarks on my "personal bookmarks" toolbar, categorized somewhat. It is starting to get to be a mess, and yet I find myself periodically thinking "What was the name of that neat site I found blah blah blah months ago?" and sifting through several hundred bookmarks across those (now 6) folders to find it.
Maybe I'm just overthinking this, and my system works fine. Hmm.
