This is, more or less, how much every one of us is expected to live. More than a few times I can remember minutes lasting like an eternity. For example when holding my breath. Or when I was watching my daughter being born. So looking at the number from that perspective, it really seems a lot, with plenty of spare time to be bored even.

Things are good. Actually, great.

As my friend says, I am no longer the son, now I am the father. I have witnessed the birth and it's the kind of experience I would recommend to all future dads. We started preparing for this about a month ago, buying all the things for the baby's room.
