Omar Zevallos

Omar is proud of Alex! The little guy started crawling two weeks ago, started standing by himself (using the couch) one week ago, and started cruising (walking while holding the couch) this afternoon. My weekend will now be a baby-proofing marathon.

: Alex crawled across the bed to pick up and play with my optical mouse. I'd be upset if I wasn't so very proud. :).

's flight for Alex's first birthday was changed from a direct to a connecting flight. Now lunch time will be spent on the phone with the airline. Great.

Omar is intrigued by Bing. Not enough to abandon Google, but intrigued enough to try it.

Omar has had two consecutive awesome "import weekends" thanks to family visiting from Atlanta, Austin, and Miami. :).

: Alex's baptism was this afternoon. Congrats, Melissa (madrina) and Gus (padrino)! Pictures coming soon.

Omar thinks Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen was pretty cool, and his collection of Optimus Prime figurines in no way contributes a bias. :).

Omar had a wonderful first Father's Day! :).

Omar is having some beer with at least four doctors, maybe more. Omar feels pretty safe. :).

Omar is waiting for his new cell phone to arrive. Where are you, FedEx?

Omar is shopping for a new cell phone. Samsung Eternity, or its twice-as-expensive little brother, the Impression? Choices, choices.

Omar is back from vacation. Things he missed the most: the cats, the king-sized bed, the large bedroom, and the speed of FiOS.

Way to go, Pens!! Congratulations!!

Omar is watching "Friends" after enjoying some ice cream. Might as well relax tonight before tomorrow's stressful game.

Omar is taking a vacation from vacation and working today. And tomorrow. And Friday too. Oh well, at least I get "Alex breaks." :).

Omar is really enjoying vacation now that the "internet snafu" has been resolved. Vacation sans beach is fine. Vacation sans internet, not so much.

Omar is working and watching the Pens.

Omar has a new appreciation for how much a simple phone call can help. Thanks, Gus! :).

Omar is taking a break from all his worries (it sure will help a lot). He is going to get away, hop in the car and go to a Pens Stanley Cup game. To watch Crosby score and Fleury save. He's gonna be where he can see the Red Wings put to shame. As the towels spin 'round, the crowd chants loud: GO PENS!

Omar is now taking applications for a personal assistant. Applicants should know how to take care of teething babies and cats recovering from surgery. Applicants should also be willing to work for about $1/hour. Only one spot available, so act now!

Omar is happy that his cat (Pancho) is back from the hospital. Pancho had a hairball lodged deep down and required surgery. The very expensive lesson: use hairball medicine regularly.

Omar can't wait for this long weekend to finally be over. Seriously.

Omar is listening to cat-based parodies of Irish songs.

Omar just booked flights to Miami for Alex's primer cumpleaños!

Omar can't wait for the concert tonight. Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band!!

Omar will not be watching the Penguins game tonight (family event w/ in-laws), but wishes them the best of luck in Game 1. Let's Go Pens! :).

Omar is back from a very quick (40-hour) weekend trip to Miami. Laura and Juan's wedding was amazing, beautiful, and a really great time.
