Call me Grandpa.

[Liberal In Texas]

Because that's what I became at 6:30 p.m. local time.

My son and daughter-in-law had a baby girl just a little while ago and I couldn't be happier.

And that, dear friends, is why we fight for what is right. For the young people just now being born.

Cigars for everybody:

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Congratulations!!! Name? I hope Mommy and baby are well?

[Liberal In Texas]

5. Vivian. I have no idea where that came from.

Everybody is doing well.

Thanks...L

[Midlodemocrat]

21. How pretty!! One of my nieces has a name like that.

In that no one knows where it came from. My eldest's name is just a name I loved. My boy is named after his dad and my baby was named by her sister.

I just love the name Vivian! Enjoy!! I could tell you how quickly time flies, but I'm sure you already know!!!

Now it gets to be fun because the things that were or you might have thought were big deals the first time around you will see them in a whole different light this time around. The patience you will have now will blow you away if you're like we were with our first grand child.

You have it exactly right, we worry about this political crap not for ourselves so much but for our descendants, it is our responsibility to at least try and leave the world a bit better place for those who come after us.

[Liberal In Texas]

others. Especially the young.
