Grandbaby!
After an enjoyable late evening Friday with David Brin, David Land and a few others who aren't on the list, I got up Saturday morning and headed to Modesto, where my wife already was, to help get things ready for her baby (our fourth grand-child), who was due around Thanksgiving. We headed home Saturday, but went right back Sunday morning because she started having a lot of contraction-ish pain during the night. I'm happy to announce that the newest member of our extended family (but only a bit newer than my sister's daughter born a couple of weeks ago in Pittsburgh) arrived at 5:50 yesterday. Mom and baby are fine. The little one is tentatively named Carly Annamarie Valenzuela, but daddy wasn't party to that decision, so it's still up in the air. The aforementioned son-in-law got stuck here in San Jose (I just got back), so guess who got to stand in for him, keeping her company during the C-section. Me! I'm sorry he missed it, but very glad to have taken his place. I've been in operating rooms a few times (off the table, never on), but this was very special, of course. (Although last time I was in one, I ended with a picture of my backside in National Geographic... but that's another story.) Nick ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
