I Suck At Lost

On Tuesday, Karen and I... and our newborn daughter (Briana)... hung out with my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea). On the agenda for the night: Lost. Now, I suck at Lost. In fact, since the episode aired, I can't seem to get it out of my mind. That was how much I enjoyed watching the latest episode. I will be so sad when the series ends.

Anyway, Tuesday was the first time that Karen and I have been to Marc and Kelley's place in well over a month due largely in part to Briana. It was definitely good to be able to visit them for a change and not have them visit us.

Truth be told, I was a little hesitant to visit Marc and Kelley on Tuesday. I think when you become a parent and are given responsibility over the life of another being... you essentially develop irrational thoughts and possible paranoia. It's unavoidable in my opinion.

The main cause for my trepidation was Briana's interaction with cats. Marc and Kelley have three cats. Normally, that is not a cause for alarm. After all, I like cats. Unfortunately, I tend to be allergic to cats. Of course, I'm not as sensitive to cats as my friend and future mayor of Quincy (Cass) is. Nevertheless, I do have allergic reactions to felines. (For anyone curious, I never used to be allergic to cats. Damn this old age!)

So naturally, in my bout of irrational thinking, I did worry that Briana (should she be like her father) could also be allergic to cats. In that case, would Briana feel itchy? Would she simply sneeze uncontrollably? Would she just cry (which is a given for newborns)? Would she react in such a way that the airway would get restricted and suffocate? See... paranoia.

It turns out Briana was just fine and my bout of paranoia was all for nothing. She may have made a little fuss during Lost, but all in all she was very good. Of course, I may have just been thinking that because I was so deeply focused on Lost. Or it could have been the drinks that Kelley made. (I've missed Kelley's bartending.) Or it could have the delicious chocolate pretzels that Andrea brought again. Those were so good.

Needles to say, it was a great night. I'm still thinking about Lost as I type this.

to ease your mind Mike, children dont typically develop allergies until 2-5 yrs old so you have a few years before you need to worry ;-)
