12:25 Monday morning. Welcome 2007.

We’re in Two Rivers on a belated holiday visit to my folks. It’s been a pretty low-key weekend. Most of my old friends from here aren’t in the area–New Year’s isn’t a holiday to come home for, after all–but we did get to see Ben and Beth for a few hours on Saturday, enough time to take in a board game and catch up on things. We also ran into my old friend Lisa at Wal-Mart today (long story), so the two Lisas finally got to meet each other.

The big news about the weekend is that Lisa and I finally told my parents about, well, the big news, and so I’m finally comfortable talking about it here: Come June we expect to be parents. We’re both excited, albeit with a wee bit of terror thrown in at the same time. Usually when talking about something big going on in my life I say it’ll be an interesting year, or maybe an interesting few months, but in this case I guess I have to say it’ll be an interesting couple of decades.

I’ll try not to write to much about they baby here–I can’t stand it when others babble about their kids, be they current or pending–but as an expectant father, I can’t promise that I won’t. And with that I’ll sign off for tonight in hopes of getting a good night’s rest (while, I suppose, I still can).

More later.
