DAMMIT - wife is 30% effaced and dilating (according to doctor today), SO, I cannot come on Saturday...Dr. said maybe this weekend, maybe within a week (birth). I suggested Connie come along - there ARE hospitals in St. Louis - she did NOT like the idea. Lots of room in the back of the 300TD to give birth...NO!
Hope y'all have fun. I will be thinking of you on Saturday...proabably all day Saturday - as I do house chores...might filter some more grease as diesel skyrockets...
