    Actually, I'll suffer from some sleep deprivation since we're staying at my son's place rather than getting a motel room. At least I won't have to do the 2 a.m. feeding.

    How does it feel to be a grandparent rather than a parent? Less responsible, which is where all the impractical toys and bad food choices (later, when the little tyke can tolerate a burger and fries) come in. :wink:

    And no, UKDarkstar...I don't look *that* old yet. :x:biggrin

    No, we probably don't. Even if we did, I almost never watch commercial television, so I wouldn't see the ads. Fortunately, Google is my friend, so I was able to look up Werther's Original to find out that it's a brand of butterscotch toffee.

    Congrats man :). Your kid must be over the moon. You are a luck fella as many out there don't get that one life's happiness. Enjoy the feeling mate and when you get him in your arms watch out for the tears. I am very happy for you and your family.
    Take care and have a safe tripe mate.

    I'm back. The flight to San Diego was uneventful. 3 hour layover in San Francisco. Found out that Landon had actually gone into shock when he was born and had to be resuscitated, but he was fine thereafter...well, except for losing 8% of his body weight after birth. By the time we left, he was back up to weight and doing fine.

    We almost missed out connecting flight in San Francisco on the way back. Only made it by a few minutes, but we made it. Back at work now and getting used to the cooler weather. It was 85 degrees F in SoCal yesterday.

    Oh...here are the first pics I posted to Picasa:

    He looks a bonny lad Trip. I'll bet you and Mrs. Trip were chuffed to bits.

    Where does the ginger hair come from??
