baby count.

Wow. Nearly everyone I know is having babies. Here’s the recent list:

  • One of The Wife’s co-workers.
  • Our friends in St. Louis.
  • A friend we haven’t talked to in forever in D.C.
  • Another of The Wife’s co-workers.
  • Our friends in Minneapolis, just a couple days ago — especially cool because they apparently named their son after our cat.
  • Coming up next is our friends in Cincinnati, followed by the wife of one of my co-workers and another one of my co-workers later this year. And let’s add Kristi to the list, as she announced her second pregnancy to the world a couple days ago.

I’m thrilled for everyone, and grateful that all the new children seem to be in capable hands.

When will Uncle Crappy and The Wife start having babies? Hm. We should probably figure out taking care of the cat before we start on actual human beings.

  1. I’m still working on keeping a plant alive before I move on to a girlfriend…..so far the Ficus is doing well…Hmmmmmmm….but I don’t want to get ahead of myself.

  2. DM –

    I almost don’t want to bring this up – but what happens when you come home all beer goggled and all you have is a Ficus – finish the thought at your own peril.

    Sooooo – what sort of prospects hang out in Boise??

    As you know, I can’t help out too much – we’ve already done as much ‘in-breading’ that is allowed in 49 states – as you know – kewyson’s wife dated Juan – and kewyson’s wife’s friend, we’ll call her LS, moved to Chitown, befreiended kewyson’s Indian friend (he’s not really that Indian, can’t talk the talk), then dated Dirtmerchant (know him?) and a law school classmate of Kewsyon – we’ll call him LD (a Brown’s fan – yeah, but also a Notre Dame grad – boooo) – then married LD and broke off all contact with Kewyson wife, the Indian Family and others –

    So, as you can see, I’ve plum run out of prospects / connections –

    Good luck with the plant!

  3. Kewyson….

    Le Bois has many excellent prospects…however, the few weeks I’m actually living here never allows for the ladies to see beyond the peg-leg and hump on my back to get to know the REAL me….however, they do get to see some great stupid human tricks, which always provide for a lasting impression.

    Here…hold my beer, watch this!!!

    After reading your description above…it’s a wonder we didn’t run over a hound dog or two backing out of the driveway. Any contact with LD/LS???

    Just a side note…heard from “satan’s little helper” and the health prospects are not good for her…

    UC-

    Hey Unc, when are you and the Wife going to be in Coloforniado? I’m heading back to the old stomping grounds for some high altitude drinking…I mean training, mid-march and would love to meet up.

  5. Jesus Uncle. The mating habits of your readers shock and disturb me. Carrying on incestuous, cross-pollinated affairs. Have they no shame?

    In particular this “LS” friend of Kewyson sounds like a mattress-backed hussy. The kind of gal that carves notches on her twin shoulder holsters. Carries handcuffs off-duty. Hauls your ashes only after she’s done kicking your ass.

    D’ya think she’s available?

  6. Juan,

    I’ve heard from my reliable, but secret, sources, that you know LS – in the Biblical sense – so, I’m going to defer commenting on behavior and general ass kicking – as for availability – from other secret third parties – LS and LD have at least one child and they reside in Chitown –

  7. Our friend Ethel, while listening to a brief explanation of the intertwined relationships among the people we grew up with, started asking rather specific questions about who, with whom, etc. I told her the answer is, almost without fail, yes.

  8. Don’t let anyone with a kid try to talk you into having them…it is like a big, huge cult. They will suck you in and you will never, ever get out!

    BTW…I had to share…I was feeling a little blue today, so I popped in the Michigan game, cued up to the 4th quarter. Ahhhh. Cured.

  9. That’s the funny thing — none of our friends with children have ever suggested that we should go and have some. One of our childless friends, however, thinks it’s an idea that we should pursue. I think if he wants kids he should have some of his own…

    And when we go to Columbus this weekend, I’ll be picking up my DVD copy of the most recent Fiesta Bowl triumph — maybe not quite as good as the Michigan game, therapywise, but damn, it’s close…
