OT: Fellow Boneyarders, please let me share the most blessed. . .

. . . event we could experience as a New Year arrives. Just got word that our first great-granddaughter was born in California. Everyone is fine and we are overcome with joy. Get to be addressed officially as "great" and never made even a free-throw.

Grandparenting is the BEST & if you're really good at it, you get to be GREAT! Congrats!!!

That's just great, Kibs. And in about 12 years of some of those midwestern schools may start their heavy recruiting of her once she learns to hit some of those free throws.

Congratulations and good health to all!

Congratulations and a happy New Year.

I'm in my mid-70's and like my father at that stage of his life
Nary a Grandchild in sight.

To the amusement of my large family, I have often trotted out that old line, that "If I had known how much fun the grandchildren would be, I woulda had them first." Now I am at a loss for a fun one-liner (but you just know my daughters and sons-in-law are ready to pounce).
