Categorizing Things is Overrated

He's in the wide world

In brief:
 
Swifty McSwifterson, aka our son Jack, zoomed into the world at 8:10AM this morning. Today is also my brother’s birthday! As I am a bit busy admiring his every inch and hobbling around the recovery room, I will save the details for further posts. But I will post a few pictures of the new arrival. We are all well – there is a lot of love here in North Carolina.

    Welcome home, Jack! I am very much looking forward to chillin\’ with you in YNP.
     
    Just so you know, you\’ve got some pretty cool parents, aunts & uncles, and grandparents. So I don\’t want to hear all your teen angst in 2023. You\’re lucky, kid. Get used to it.

    Hey, so what\’s his middle name?  If you haven\’t come up with one, can I suggest "Danger"?  Jack Danger Egan.  Danger is His Middle Name.  Yeah, I took it from Austin Powers, but that doesn\’t make it a bad idea…
