Well, last night my wife and I got started in the baby-making business. For the first time in my life I've made a serious attempt to make another human being.

It's a pretty weird feeling, knowing that my wife could be pregnant right now. Of course, it's more likely that she's not pregnant. We haven't even started thinking about what parts of the month are best for baby-making, and I'd rather not have to worry about that. I'm keen to just take it as it comes, and see what happens.

I can remember when I was a kid, thinking about what the world would be like when I had kids of my own. Being something of a science fiction fan, I assumed there'd by flying cars and stuff, and I'd be able to get bionic arms if I wanted to. There have been a lot of little changes since then, but things still look a lot like they did back then.

I'm thinking of starting some sort of journal I can start writing to my future child. Baby photos are good, but wouldn't it be cool to be able to find out exactly what your parents were thinking when you were born?
