Ever since I got back from the East Coast I've been adjusted to Milo time. Like most babies he was great when he got back from the airport but now is sleeping a little less at night and is much more fussy (funny, I've never really used the word 'fussy' before having a baby). I'll do a night time feeding for Carrie and wake up at the butt crack of dawn when they do.

I went to Seattle yesterday for a one-off gig with Mr. Tyrell. I was wrecked during the day and napped every chance I got. By the time the show was over I was feeling pretty good and briefly considered having a drink with the fellahs. But we were staying at very nice Fairmont Hotel and the notion of a nice, long night of uninterrupted sleep was way too enticing.

So what happens? I can't go to sleep until 1 AM and am fully awake at 7 AM. I blame my recent coffee intake which has increased about 250% since Milo was born.

I'm home now and am not leaving for a few weeks. The next gig is in Las Vegas and will be the first stop of the Milo World Tour ... details and press conference coming soon.

But not time to rest! Taxes are due soon and that is always an ENORMOUS headache for me. And I can't even write off lil' Porkchop yet.

The weather in Jersey last week was awful. I hadn't felt sleet coming down like that in a long, long time. This is why I like LA, the weather never hurts.

After that gig we took a train to DC on Sunday. I love traveling by train, I'd rather take a six hour train ride than a three hour plane trip any day of the week. After the gig we had a day off and I got to visit Cousin Kathy and her gorgeous little girls. Yesterday we took a train to Philly where we'll be for a couple more days.

I saw 300 yesterday, fantastic film. I've been excited about it for a long time and it delivered.

I'm missing my boy fo' sho', can't wait to get home.

Funny, funny stuff.

And for all of you March Madness fans and bracketologists let me boast for a second. In my online Tournament Pick 'Em League on Yahoo I'm in the 99th percentile of all entires, have 13 of the sweet sixteen right, and have 40 correct picks out of 48 games so far. Pretty incredible. I mention this now because it's all about to change soon as I had Wisconsin in the championship game.

The first stop on tour was Vail. I've never really spent any time in Denver before, let alone Vail. This is what I have to say about it; very beautiful, gorgeous mountains everywhere, I don't care if I ever go back. Don't get me wrong, the place was nice enough but the altitude really got to me. The whole time I had this really dull headache and the air was so dry I felt nasty. And I could live my whole life and never put on a pair of skis and that would be fine with me. So Vail really isn't the place for Lyman.

Today brought some typical travel hell. Plane delayed 2 hrs, sit on the runway for 45 min, put in a holding pattern for a half hour after arriving, etc. But now that I'm back in a normal altitude and breathing easily I'm much happier. Plus Carrie, Milo and I just got done Skyping, thank goodness for technology. It was good seeing my boy again.

In an hour or so I leave for tour. It will be the first of many sad goodbyes between me and Milo. Wish us luck!

Grandma Donna leaves tomorrow. We've had a pretty fun week. While most of it was simply holding and playing with Milo we have managed to run a bunch of errands, see some friends, and eat at some pretty nice places.

Milo's going to miss Grandma, she can calm him rather quickly with the butt-pat/rest-on-her-belly combo.

Then, sadly, I'm leaving Tuesday for my first tour in a month or so. I'll be out until the 24th. Carrie's good friend Kathy will be coming to L.A. on Wednesday so luckily she'll have some help with the baby for part of it.

There's a big mess of new pictures on the baby blog so check it out if you haven't yet.

I was watching the Today Show this morning. The first thing I saw was a news report of a graphic rape and murder of a little girl. She'd been killed, chopped up, and put in to trash bags, Anne Curry described every detail.

Soon after there was a segment on training dogs. In one seen a boy dog rolled over on his back as dogs often do. While on his back the Today show decided to block out his penis.

I'm going to say that again, in case you missed it.

THEY BLOCKED OUT HIS LITTLE DOGGY PENIS LIKE IT WAS A NAKED HOT TUB SCENE FROM THE FRIGGIN' REAL WORLD!!!

So breathe easy America, when watching the Today show you can hear a detailed report about the grizzly rape and murder of a little girl without worrying about seeing Benji's wee-wee.

Everyone affiliated with this show has completely lost their minds. Conservatism in this country is out of control.

Milo's first week of life has been pretty great; it's also been relatively easy thanks to help from Kelly (who was amazing during the delivery), Carrie's parents, and of course my mom.

Grandma Medeiros got here on Saturday and it's been pretty hard to get Milo out of her hands ever since.
