At 8:50 pm on June 12, my wife gave birth to our first child. A beautiful boy, Mason Terzua. 8 lbs, 8 oz. He’s two days old now and I can unreservedly say he’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen. (A feeling I bet other parents share about their kids.) I’m in share-the-joy mode now so I had to post here as I spend so much time here (mostly lurking though). But heck, what better use of my $4.95 than this? ---

Conga-rats, emulsified. One thing that still strikes me whenever I look at Pinky’s face, is that I feel like I’ve always know that face. It’s wierd, but it’s nice. > [@BiblioCat](#): > > Boy, the lil’ Doper babies are just popping out all over these days. Remind me not to drink the water in the lunch room. 😉 I can’t believe the perpetuation of ignorance here! Water does not make babies. It’s storks what bring the babies.
