Joining the ranks of Mason Thomas, 2, and Reese Charles, 1, my youngest brother, Matt, and his wife, Nicole, just welcomed their newest son and my newest nephew, Hayden Matthew into the world yesterday afternoon. He was a bit early on the arrival as we all had him penciled in for mid-August, but what can you do? I don’t know what to think about having a Cancer for a nephew except that he’s in pretty good company if you hold with those Crab Movers and Shakers, Max and Tyler.
Don’t think the significance of three boys under three years old hasn’t settled in on just about everyone who hears about it. “Holy shit!” seems to be followed with a look of great sympathy for the young parents but in all honestly, the boys are the cutest, most handsome little men ever brought forth so we all have a good idea that Hayden will be more of the same. Then again, we’re not complete ostriches with our heads stuck in the sand. Coming from a family of four brothers, we all know boys will be boys.

It’s not enough that the local judge called our area “…the butt-hole of New York” in a phone conversation with Jeff last week, now they’re hiring failed spelling bee champions to make local signage around town. Maybe I can get a job doing that. I wonder how much they pay?

All you English teachers and professors and other assorted politico-literati who-ha’s: try not to be jealous because we now own the official George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” Checker Set. Made up of those nasty pigs and the ever-present, docile cows, the epic battle of good versus evil, light versus dark, totalitarian swine verses cud-chewing federalists, can be played out every night in your own home. Or it could have been before the company went bankrupt and we snatched up the last one of these to be found in all the Delaware River Valley. Feel the burn of your envy, bitches.

After several bouts with death over these last months, we were finally able to get Nikki and Andrew and their baby, Ella, up for a visit to the country. Always apprehensive about babies because of their trail of poo, goo, and doo, I was relieved to find Ella a most charming and happy little girl, quick to smile the smile of a diaper filled but good and easily the most squeezable kankles and mushies of any baby, ever. It didn’t take us long on Friday morning to just steal Ella for some personal time, leaving her parents to sleep in. The rest of the weekend was filled up with naps, relaxing jaunts on the porch doing nothing but sweating, taking Ella for walks, finding creative ways to keep Ella confined and happy while we cooked and grilled, and even some home-based fireworks. It was awesome but we have serious make-up affection time with the kitties if we don’t want to find ourselves murdered in our beds.
