Before Clark was born I tried to find some books on fatherhood to prepare myself for the ordeal. There aren't a lot of good or interesting books on fatherhood. Moms get all the good books. The best I read was by Michael Lewis, yes the guy who wrote Moneyball
and Liar's Poker. His Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood was a great read and included plenty of learning from his screw ups, fatherhood advice, and directions.

One thing that really stood out was his suggestion that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) was merely used to cover for parents who murdered their infants. That can't be, can it?
The National Institute of Health's (NIH) website defines SIDS rather vaguely:
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected, sudden death of a child under age 1 in which an autopsy does not show an explainable cause of death.
Really, that's the best they can do? It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. I'm not really a sci-fi guy, but I've watch hundreds if not thousands of hours of reality crime TV (think: TruTV and Discovery ID). I'm not saying I agree with Lewis, but let play devil's advocate. Let's look at things a little differently. Let's look at things from a potential murderer's perspective?
