Grandfatherhood
« on: January 10, 2011, 08:11:56 am »
I guess the fact that I am posting this here indicates a level of excitement about a role I had not expected to assume so early in life.  Or maybe it is not as early as I thought?

Anyway ... I'm not sure how to say "Virtual Bob" in Spanish, but my namesake was born late last night in Nicaragua.  Mother & baby are fine and my son is like a kid with a new toy.  Hope he does not dismantle it to see how it works (as he has done so often in the past).

Umm ... that sounds more like Italian to me, but who knows?

Anyway ... thanks to all for the many congratulations.  I'm still on the wrong side of the Atlantic now, but should be able to get down there next week or the week after.  Meanwhile, there is video skype.  Ain't technology wunnerful?
