So you probably don't understand...It's okay though. No one who was actually there for the joke did either. The best part was how much Jimmy was enjoying it.

First Night Back
So alas my days of parental leave are officially over.
After being back at work for half an hour it felt like I had never even left. Nothing's really changed...You know what? Fuck this. Are you bored yet? I am.
This is going to be a short post as I've not slept much today and I'm just not in the mood for complaining about work. You know the drill: Blah,blah, blah, they're all dumb and if I'm the smart one we're all in trouble yadda, yadda.
What I will be doing as you may have noticed follower (thank you Marc!) that I've started to change the look of the blog. I wasn't all that happy with the green and I think I'm going to change the name of the blog to match the handle that I've started using on twitter. So this space may become John Henry Ink. John Henry was my paternal grandfather's name and the ink is, well mostly obvious I suppose. I couldn't use Inc. on twitter so went with ink but it may be a little too clever, and quite frankly over done, what with the tattoo shows everywhere. John Henry Inc. (or Ink) is supposed to be my parent organization for all the stuff I get involved in though it's more concept really. I've not made a real corporation or anything.
Well time to do the dishes make some dinner for the kids and go to bed! Goodnight!

Reasons
Well I've been managing to post fairly regularly now. I hope to be able to maintain this pace once I go back to work. Right now, for those of you not in the know, I am on parental leave after the birth of our (meaning my wife's and mine. Not me and you. That would be weird. We may not even know each other. You may be male. Not that that has anything to do with it I suppose 'cause there's always adoption. Or you could be trans-gendered. But then again it does have something to do with it because I'm not gay. You may not have known...or cared...where was I?) fourth child in June of last year. I should be alright for the posting of drawings at least as I've got a pile of them just waiting to be scanned and manipulated for your viewing pleasure (I hope. I mean I hope it's your pleasure not I hope you can view them. Well actually I DO hope you can view them, christ are you getting tired too?).
As my dad would say, "due to circumstances completely within my control" I'll be on nights for the first month and a half or so when I return so my wife can work and not have to put all her money to baby sitting. This is completely within my control, he would argue, because it was my choice to have this many kids. "Hey!" I say "I don't know how to respond to that!"
So if my posting (is that even a verb?) drops off it will only be because between the working all night and watching kids during the day and sleeping at some point I'll have actually tried to eat something as well.
It's funny, I had intended to write this post about why I had started posting again. Some of the forces involved are quite happy. Others, not so much. I think maybe I'll just skip it for tonight. Writing this made me laugh. I think that's where I'm going to leave it.

The one that started it all...
Well it's the first drawing I did with the Alien Fossil label. And "it" didn't really start anything. Like I wasn't halucinating and it said "you know young master David, I look like a fossil from another planet. An "alien fossil" if you will. You shall call me that henceforth!" And it certainly did not speak with an english accent...Never happened.
