using sed in alias in C shell

Using sed commands in your .alias file in C shell is always tricky. One example of the same is:

alias grf 'set fileNline = `echo "\!*" | sed -e "s/\([^ ]*\):\([0-9]*\):.*/+\2 \1/"`;gvim $fileNline'

This alias is called as:

grf file:line_num:

and then it open the file "file" in gvim with cursor at line "line_num".

Parenting

Interesting insight on this blog entry in Freakonimics - http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/07/the-paradox-of-parenting/
The crux is that parent's don't seem to enjoy parenting is a strange conclusion made by almost all studies in this field. I am not sure I fully subscribe to this theory as I oscillate between happiness and despair when parenting. Maybe its more despair than happiness, but one thing I am sure about it is that happiness definitely has a longer lasting effect than despair.
