The Big News

As I previously stated, something Big was supposed to have happened yesterday. Well, Bureaucracy and general all around gloamish behavior forced yesterday's big news to be suspended to today. And though such suspension put me thoroughly on edge, the relief received and the excitement injected once the Big something occurred truly put me on one of those cloud nine type places that we as people wake up to live for everyday. But,

I preamble for too long. In fact, I've kept all of this under wraps for too long. So instead of giving you a thousand words, I'll give you a picture:



And so in 29 weeks or so, I'll be a full fledged dad, and we'll have an even littler fox scampering about the house. Right now she looks like a little kidney bean, and is only about 11 cm long, but, man, on the sono, she was flipping out better than any ninja that NinjaBurger ever hired.

We were really hoping for twins, since it runs in Sue's family, but one healthy kid is just as good as far as I'm concerned.

And furthermore, I expect all of my Spalding friends to bestow upon Sue and I an ecumenical bounty of suitable names that we won't use; just like we all did for Matt.

So there you go. That's the big news.

Ahh, the first to comment. In that way I am much like the first wise man to venture from the wastelands of Kentucky and through the treacherous Internet lands to bring the newly wrought child a gift. The gift I offer is a name, and the name I offer you is as many as it is one: Nuit Ma Ahathoor Hecate Sappho Jezebel Lilith, the name of Aleister Crowley's firstborn daughter. You may use/discard one or all. You earned that right, Drew, for you have completed the mundane task of alchemy--VISITA INTERIORA TERRAE RECTIFICANDO INVENIES OCCULTUM LAPIDEM. So says Roderick the Wise and Tempermental.
