In my weepy, whiny state of agitation yesterday I forgot to mention that there was goodness.

At 2:41 a.m. on November 17th my much-adored and most-beloved coworker Al, the cutest girl on earth&trade became the cutest mom on earth&trade. Baby Gus is here! It will be hard to stop calling him Quixote since that was the code name we came up for him. She and her husband had kept his name a secret from most everyone for months and months and months.

Whenever anyone would ask if she had any names, I would pipe up with “I think they should call him Quixote” to help take the heat off. So for months he’s been Quixote. I even got him a kids’ book called “Don Quixote and the Windmills.”

I’ve seen pictures and he’s beautiful. I can’t wait to meet him.
