First Pic of Colin

colin_small.jpg

This is about as close as they'd let us get to young Colin at the hospital last night, what with germs and all.

So amazingly cute... Mom Cami was looking quite healthy and animated and was cracking jokes last night while we visited. Daddy Dennis is beaming.

Mom went through the birth au naturel with no drugs or anything (not even an epidural). Amazing. Given my low tolerance for pain, if I were in her shoes, I would have demanded morphine under penalty of heavy lawsuit.

Congrats to Cami and Dennis. When they've checked out of the hospital and are comfortably at home, we can broach the subject of when the little tyke will get his first quad. ;-)

Welcome, Colin William

Welcome to the world, Colin William Smith! Dennis and Cami Smith welcomed Colin William at about 10 PM last night. He's a healthy 8 lb., 7oz.

Mom and Dad are reportedly doing well, and I plan to see if I can get home early today in time for hospital visiting hours.

Mom did the natural childbirth thing, which is amazing. No drugs, no epidural, no nothin'. That's one tough lady!

Best wishes to the whole family. Hopefully, pics to come soon.

Take My Rock Guitar Test

So I created this test for rock guitar players on OKCupid. No one's taking the damned thing. If you play, and you think you're the goods, take it. WARNING: Taking a test someone created is how I got sucked into OKCupid in the first place. I didn't really see myself putting up a profile on an online dating site, but it's really easy to get sucked into when you've already answered questions and made that time investment. You have been warned.
