Alert readers may recall that in November, I got married! I am now happy to report that Mrs. Bricker and I are expecting a child, at least as far as the ept company is concerned! Yes, we took the home test last night, and she passed with flying colors. We expect a due date at the beginning of October! I am dancing on the clouds… and just thought I’d share! - Rick ---

That’s good to hear, although this dashes my last hopes of you ever fathering my already born children. All-Seer was looking foward to having you as a retroactive Dad. BTW, boy do you work fast. I guess you didn’t see the sun much on your honeymoon! ---
