If you have not yet read Neal Pollack's Alternadad you must right away. It is a wickedly funny book about trying to have a child without losing your hipness (if you even had it to start with, which I did not). The best line in the book is when he describes his artist wife as being allergic to making money. That's me!Since Pollack and his family lived in Austin for most of the book, he talks about sending his son to the same preschool as Ben goes to as well as "Max the Mohel" (who performed Sam's bris). His son's circumcision story in chapter seven is not to be missed.
