Since Star Trek had The Next Generation, we figured we can too, right? Well, he’s here! We had the invaluable pleasure of greeting a beautiful baby boy. We welcome him to this wild, weird, wonderful world with all the hopes and dreams that a room full of doting family members can muster. His arrival has prompted a lot of reflection for me, and I know for others too. I think I read somewhere that if you hadn’t done so already, you are required to grow up when your first grandchild is born. I am going to seriously consider this. I don’t want to rush into anything, but I an going to seriously consider it. …. OK, I did, and I think I need to go back and check my sources. I don’t think they were talking about me. If they were addressing this to me, I think they would have realized how foolish they were being, and gone on to something more constructive, perhaps new parking regulations or something. Anyhow, I look forward to making faces with my grandson when he’s feeling up to it. I am a very blessed silly old ShivaFooL.
