Well, it seems to be quiet now so I thought I'd add an off topic piece of
information. Wed. Sept.14 at 1030PM Toronto time, Jacob Selby Alexander
Ross was born (8 pounds, 2.3 oz / 3694 gm?). Selby is my Son's
Father-in-Law and he and Lee live in Australia (although Lee is here for the
event). They added the Alexander part for a Canada Father-in-Law/ my Uncle's
name from Scotland, which I got from my parents.
Caroline (my Son Michael's wife) and Baby are doing well. Her Doctor
commented that everything went so smoothly since she had been swimming
regularly during her pregnancy at the Condo they bought (here) after they
were married in Hawaii (3? years ago/ 2002).
He sure was Tiny 2 hours after he was born !! About the weight of a
Cantalope, although cuter.
So now I'll have to get a walking stick and act older and wiser than
formerly.... :-< Gordon./

It comes naturally!
The novelty wears off though ... we're on our ninth. People congratulate us
but we have little to do with it.
Nevertheless, congratulations to your daughter and her husband :-)

Yes. And they were home in 3 days. Years ago they'd stay a week? before
release. Lucky they had his room etc. all ready to go, although he hasn't
slept in it yet. Most times he'd been only sleeping abut an hour at a
time -- kind of like his Grandpa does when the book is boring. Gordon./

grandkids for her ;-)
