    Who's yer daddy?

    A lot of you know I just recently married (Oct. 7th) but my happiness has doubled since this past Sunday:



    Wendi took this home pregnancy test on Sunday and the result was confirmed by her doctor yesterday morning: She's a bit over 4 weeks along and aye, here's the rub: She conceived while we were on honeymoon in Ireland!

    I'm reminded today of the wisdom and grace many women possess, especially that of my paternal grandmother (her grandparents were Irish). To this day, she's still the wisest woman I've ever known and one of the many "gems" she passed on to me as a child was this:

    "There are two things a man should aspire to be above all else: A good husband and a great father."

    Here's hoping I'm both.

    Children are the most wonderful things that life has to offer, I raised three of them, two boys and a girl so I feel qualified to lend a bit of advice. Enjoy them as much as you can, spend as much time as humanly possible with them and remember, kill them before they grow!!!! Because if you neglect this most important step they will become TEENAGERS and then the next logical step are GRANDCHILDREN, not that grandchildren are bad at all, it's just that I wasn't ready to be a grandfather and the brutal beating that I got from my dear wife was a clue as to how she felt being forced into grandmotherhood.

    Just a bit of advice.


    Chris.
