Oddball Update

I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations to my brother-in-law A and his wife Pond on their new baby girl! She was delivered during the wee hours last night in Thailand, and the pictures I saw this afternoon show how cute she is. Congrats to the lucky parents!

She doesn’t have a name yet, which is common practice in Thailand — sometimes, a baby’s name isn’t chosen for days or even weeks after birth. Because of the weight and significance a name carries, it must be chosen with great care. Here in the United States, it’s a little bit different — the instant your child is born, the government is asking for a name they can put on the birth certificate and assign a Social Security number to, so your new baby can have everything she needs to start paying taxes to Uncle Sam!

Take care and we’ll be seeing you all soon.
