Well I just talked to Dave (newself); a concern had been raised about the young females falling at his feet, but he assures me he & they can handle it and I trust him/them. So once again, congrats Newself! What a great-looking grandkid. Cheers. Sharon...

Congrats to you Newself and to your son and his wife on the addition. ^
From what I hear, grandkids are better than having your own. Remember to feed the grandchild a great big bowl of chocolate ice cream right before bedtime. Of course, that will be a few years but one can never start planning those grandparent things to do too early.

Wow
Thanks for the kind words from all of you! Where are all of those 20 year old females that are falling at my feet, I must be missing something here? My son who lives in El Cajon called me last Friday while I was in SEA and gave me the good news. I am so looking forward to spoiling the kid, loading her/him with sugary treats, then sending her/him back to mom and dad! Thanks again!

Moving
Barry,
I pointed to your place from your office. As of this moment, I am about a 1/3 rd moved in, new bed being delivered Friday morning and the guys from work are moving my furniture with the company truck. It sure helps when you are the boss! Now that we are neighbors, it is your turn to buy lunch!

Hey old guy, does this make you older than me?
Congratulations on the good news, Dave!
Since your kids are married, doesn't that add a couple years onto your age. I feel younger already.
It was great to see you on Sunday, and we'll see you next month in LA.
Cheers,
Joe
