Old One,
Long time, no post.
I regret that I haven't made time to catch up on your Story Hour lately. I'll soon remedy that.
But today, on a whim, I popped over here and caught your post above about your impending arrival. Congratulations, my friend! I'll bet you are beaming with pride. Trust me, it just gets better and better (right after some of the sleep deprivation goes away).
Anyway, today has been a rather somber occasion for me, reflecting back on the events of a year ago, but your news about your son really made me feel good. It is good to be reminded of all the good things that are happening in this world of ours. Congratulations again and, being that we're from the same general neck of the woods and all, I sincerely hope that someday a few years from now, our kids might get a chance to meet and play together while we down a cold one and discuss the fun times had in a land of Faded Glory.
Take care of yourself and your family and I look forward to catching up on the Story Hour.
