I used to measure the success of my days on whether a source had returned my phone call or my boss actually lit up if I pitched an alluring idea to him for a feature. These days, if Mr. Big Eyes has an hour-long nap and manages to fall asleep before eight o’clock, I feel as if my editor has just told me my piece landed on page one. Now that Mr. Big Eyes is six months old he often requires more than just a pint of milk to knock him out for the night. Even I’ve grown tired of the Mozart, Beethoven and Bach that his mobile drones over and over.
