After what were 30+ hours of grueling labor (for me mostly, though my wife seemed to be in some type of pain as well – I’ll have to check back with her on that), Eric Jae-Young Lee Martin finally decided to join us on Saturday, October 10th at 11:36 a.m.
In addition to taking his time once the whole show got under way, my son also decided that the fact that dad had tickets to Friday night’s Yankee playoff game was entirely beside the point. Luckily, my good friend Steve (who benefitted from my son’s irregular sense of timing) was kind enough to phone me after what was one of the more dramatic playoff wins for the Yanks in a while to let me know that Mark Teixeira’s game-winning, 11th inning, walk-off home runs landed 5 rows in front of my his seats.
Still, I think it’s clear I came out the winner. I believe he calls this look “Velvet Steel” but it’s hard to make out his words as he tends to mumble.

Mazeltov! He looks like a handsome young man. Congrats to you and the missus.
Your excuse for missing the game is far more understandable than the one the late Dick Schaap sometimes talked about. His wife insisted he had to go apartment hunting with her one day, so he ended up missing the game (I think he was a member of the press at the time), which only turned out to be Don Larsen’s perfect game in the ’56 World Series.
Yeah, that’s a go-to-the-grave type grudge right there. For me, it’s nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek anecdote.
As they say in Brazil, meus parabens! Felicidades!
By the way, Barcelona v Real Madrid is coming up on November 30th . . .

And I might be able to escape/desperately need a beer come that merry date
Okay. We may be having a small get together at the house. You, your wife and the baby are all welcome.
Definitely keep me posted
Will do
Has he articulated any interesting political views yet?
He thinks that if he fails to demand food when hungry (even at all hours of the night), the terrorists will win.
Congratulations.
