I'm a grandpaw

Well I will be in a couple of hours. My daughter-in-law has her feet in the stirups as I type. I remember being in the exact same position as my son right now. Boy does they have a couple of long decades in front of them. And it goes by so fast. I never though being older (I'm 42) I would have much to get excited about, boy was I wrong. I hope the kid gets here (it's a boy) before midnight on the ides of March, I'm gonna nick-name him Brutis.
Just thought I would share some good news.

Congrats Rick, I hear grandparenting is all gravy, you just send 'em back home when you can't take it anymore. I'm 54 and sons not even engaged.

Hell Markus, my baby is 17. Yeah we started early, and looking back I'm glad we did. By the time the nagging little tax deductions are out of my hair.........I will still have hair.

Update 7:00 and seven centimeters.

Hey Rick --> CONGRATS!

"Im one step behind you. My daughter's getting married TOMORROW! AK...I'm still having trouble digesting the idea. Husband-to-be is a great guy, but not a great Porsche guy (yet..... ha ha ha)

Here's a gratuitous pic.



(sorry but I couldn't resist --- I think I'm still a little traumatized)
