Hey, anyone not moved by some parts of life ain't worth the breath they draw..... IMO, of course.
And I did hang out with you a bit in TN, although the temp. got to me something awful. I actually had to head up to my room and hide behind the A/C to recover. Sorry, I am a northern boy and cannot adapt to the south in anything but winter. I could make sweating an Olympic event......
No need to clean up anything about that photo: I hope to be holding Penelope soon enough and frankly, I do not care where my thumbs end up. Looking forward to holding her, changing her and giving her a bath. She is still in the hospital, born a bit premature but not too far (34 weeks, maybe 35) so long term prognosis is excellent. My D-I-L has already been released, Penelope goes into an open crib tomorrow and with a little luck, comes home on Thurs. So everything is great. In fact, I am casually scouting around for another C-14 to make the trip down to VA and visit the little angle as often as possible. Of course I can make the ride in a cage but hey, why do that when I can <possibly> ride on two wheels?
On the plus side, I truly love my D-I-L and I do not say that lightly; she has been with my son for almost 10 years and has more than earned all my respect and love, which is not something I give away easily. In fact, she is number three out of <everyone>: my mother, my wife and now she so it is kind of a special bond.
Apparently I am in charge of teaching Penelope how to ride (motorcycles and if needed, horses) and shoot, which I am frankly very happy and proud to do.
Anyway, she is still in the hospital and so I have not 'met' her yet although my wife is there and stealing touches and the occasional holding- all strictly off- limits in the neo- natal unit. But if my wrist will cooperate, I will see her soon enough and maybe post a photo or two as a proud Grandpa.
