We’re now in overtime! Which is OK… my wife’s birthday is tomorrow, and having the young’un then would give me one less birthday to remember. I’m so bad at those. And many congratulation go out to Jason and Lysa Stiffler on the (early) birth of thier daughter Helena. I could say something about Jason’s need to finally come in ahead of me on something, but . . . I won’t.
