It’s worth getting a LOOK, because hey, I deserve congratulations, too! 😃

I’ve had an incredibly lucky life, and it continues to bring me more than I could ever hope for.

Thank you all.

First off, if that’s your ball you’re going to need to find a much bigger bat.

You’ll name the second after me, of course.

Congratulations, Asimovian. If your first child is a girl, you just have to name her Gladia. And if it’s a boy, Daneel, of course. 🙂

Am I a bad person for being amused that my ex-wife is the one that introduced me to the board?

I ain’t touchin’ it! 🙂

Whatever the reason she’s your ex, she did you a favor and you can be amused in that she made it possible for you both to meet.

It will make a great anniversary reminiscence, **Asimovian**!

Or maybe not. 😉

It will be the talk of the next LA Dopefest that something _I_ was a part of got you to post in a non-Dopefest-related thread. We are honored and humbled, sir. 🙂
