I had Chief of Staff Doors more in mind. šŸ˜‰ I see Unca Cecil hasnā€™t responded, but it was a shot in the dark anyway. So, you wanted pictures? OK, letā€™s see what we can do for ya. How about [this](http://www.geocities.com/robincartwright/Aaron1.html?1028444331938)? šŸ™‚ Three quick and dirty pictures, but itā€™s all I have time for right this second. There will, of course, be more to come. -Dave ---

Damn Geocitiesā€¦the link isnā€™t working, and I donā€™t have time to fix it now, either. ā˜¹ Sorry for the tease. It says that itā€™ll be back up within the hour, but I make no promises. Iā€™ll fix it after Robin gets back from the hospital, I swear. Unless it works by then. ---

Boy, whenever I miss out on checking the Board for a couple of days, big things happen. And it looks like Iā€™m a couple days late for one of the biggest of them all. Congrats, **Dave** and **Robin**. And welcome, **Aaron**. Doper babies are indeed the best. We love you, little guy. ---

Hi, yā€™allā€¦ Weā€™re finally home from the hospital, and none the worse for wear. Right now, his grampaā€™s got him so I can get some stuff arranged so we can move him into my room. And try [this link](http://www.geocities.com/robincartwright/Aaron1.html) for pictures. šŸ™‚ Robin ---

**MsRobyn** ā€¦geocities is notorious for only allowing a small number of people to view linked pictures per day before they shut the site down temporarily. You might consider uploading pictures of Aaron to the SDMB MSN Community located [here](http://groups.msn.com/SDMB/shoebox.msnw?albumlist=1). Just a helpful suggestion. šŸ™‚ Oh, and welcome to the little one. Itā€™s about time. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Again, felicitations to all of you. And, as I have said in the two other **BabyDoors** threads, **Cecil** _reallly_ ought to get his butt in here and welcome this here brand new doper baby. ---

Geez guys . . . Iā€™ve heard of some pretty far-fetched stunts to try to get the Great One to make an appearance, but making a little person? Holy cow! :eek: Seriously, Congratulations! May the liā€™l tyke be well versed in the ways of the Teeming Millions. Tripler And I wanna be there when the kid makes his first post. ---

In his columns, Cecil has alluded to some interesting adventures over the years, so my guess is that he is a little gun-shy that talking about babies might lead to speculation about any extra ā€œlittle Cecilsā€ which may have appeared over the years. In other words, heā€™s concerned that if he posts his congratulations, then _boom_ ā€“ next thing you know heā€™s shifting uncomfortably under the TV lights on of those ā€œWhose The Father?ā€ daytime talk show episodes. ---

Congratulations **Airman Doors** and **Ms. Robyn**. May you have much happiness from your new son. As to the matter of getting Cecil to respond, you guys are going about it all wrong. Learn from the Bible, umā€¦ I mean comic books. Whenever someone wanted to get a hold of Spider Man, what did they do? They looked up Peter Parker at the Bugle, because people knew that he took all those pix of Spidey and figured that they knew each other. Similarly, when someone wanted to get a hold of Superman, all they had to do was drop by Lois Laneā€™s office. Therefore, I suggest sending an email to our resident link to Cecil, namely **Ed Zotti** , and see if he can coax Cecil into welcoming the kid. Zev Steinhardt ---
