    MY Boy is finally here...

    Well after 3.5 hours of labor ( 20 min was pushing...which is very quick ) I am the proud father of a baby boy (suprise). Benjamin Lee. Both mother and baby are doing great right now. I'm in the hospital (which luckily has wi-fi) so I can get caught up on SMC while I am tending mother and baby for the next two days. I finished all of the baby furniture a few weeks ago and then had a catastrophe with a leak in the master bedroom...ended up being the sewer vent pipe seal which was non-existant....fixed the vent pipe seal and then had to do some drywall on the ceiling...figured while we had everything out of the room to fix that problem we may as well paint the walls and ceiling...I finished that thursday so just in time. well off to get some sleep and food. Greg

    You are truly a woodworker when you read this title and the first thought that comes to your mind is "ok! what tool is he talking about"

    Congrats Greg!!

    Congratulations. I've got two of those rascals and love (almost) every bit of it.

    Greg -

    Congratulations!!! What a change you now have in your lives. (ps - as some of the others have said, Lee is a good name. It is my first name - I only use it on special occasions. )

    Congratulations!
    Ted

    ps - I like the "surprise" method.
