We just got back from Durango Colorado where my younger daughter had her first child (and my first grandchild).
The little lady was born Wednesday morning, Aug 14 2002, at about 9:30 am, weighed in at about 8 pounds, and has been dubbed Tieja Moon (kinda rhymes with déjà vu).
Daughter and daughter are doing fine, are home from the hospital and settling in nicely, while the old man (that’s me) is having a hard time believing his younger daughter is 23 years old, and now has a little girl of her own.
Even though I had nothing to do with it, I am of course insanely proud, and wish like hell they didn’t live six hours away so we could see them more often. But we gave them our camcorder, and they have a digital camera so we hope to see lots of pictures (beyond the 50 or so we took while we were there ).
I’m off to alt.callahans to make a toast to the new lady in my life.
LolaCocaCola, GrandPop? This will take getting used to!
Thanks, hillbilly queen! I’m bursting my buttons with pride over here, as they used to say. heeheehee!
And matt_mcl I think my kids may have gotten a little too much of the hippie culture from my ex and me, but what the hell, it’s a pretty name and she’s a beautiful girl, so we all love the name too. Thanks very much, and all warm fuzzies are happily forwarded.
Thanks very much everyone, we’re definitely thrilled!
We won’t get quite as much chance to spoil her as we’d like, but we’re going to try anyway.
It turns out one of my wife’s friends is making a web page, and I think the pictures will be posted there today or tomorrow, and if not I’ll stick a few on my own server. Either way, when they are ready, I’ll post a link.

The Channel 17 WTBS programming and the satellite TBS Superstation programming are not always the same. Identical almost all the time but once in a great while they differ. E.g., rights to sports telecasts or old sitcoms cause the two feeds to diverge. I don’t think there is anything on their current schedule that would cause this. But I would consider WTBS to the a local Atlanta UHF station (and only the #3 UHF in the market at that) and TBS Superstation to be a satellite network.

Atlanta has some really fringe low power UHFs. One independent (channel 52?, 2 on cable) carries mostly religious programming and '50s sitcoms like “Love that Bob”.
