You know, one of the worst things about having both jobs and hobbies depend on your writing skills is that you feel like a complete dumbass when you publish something casual or fire off a late-night e-mail and then find you’ve either over-edited it and left in some old wordage you intended to delete or, worse, misspelled something important – like “public health”.

A hint to all you future parents out there: the sleep deprivation and time crunch you will experience after the birth of your child does not help this situation. I think I may need to place a disclaimer on all of my e-mails telling readers to contact my son if the contents are nonsensical, unreadable, or otherwise completely messed up.
