The Second Annual Report
Long time, no hear. I've been accepted into this year's class at Clarion West, which is a six-week workshop for speculative fiction writers. I've added a bunch of my new classmates to foster a get-to-know-you dealie.

I'm really excited about the workshop. The reason I'm able to do this is: 1) it's in Seattle, which means I'm not separated from my family for a full six weeks, and 2) it coincides with MLTB's maternity leave.

Which leads to the imminent arrival of my third son, Zack. This is week 38. Nick was born at 37 weeks and Alex at 38. I had originally predicted Cinco de Mayo, but it may happen sooner.

Welcome to new friends, hello again to the old ones.

wow! that's exciting about the imminent offspring!

that *is* good that you're local - it'd be pretty hard to leave a new kid - not to mention the 'old' kids.

Yes, that's why I didn't apply to East. Well, that, I can't take humidity.

My wife's family is going to fly in and help out. It will be nice to be able to pop back home and read a bedtime story now and then (actually, my four-year-old is starting to read them to me!).

Very exciting. And congrats! I love their names, btw.

See you this summer!

Thank you. I owed them all good names because of the mouthful of a last name they're stuck with.

I look forward to meeting you, too.

So what happened? Was your prediction wrong? Has the new baby arrived?

Of course, if the baby has, then you wouldn't have time to post, so... uh, nevermind. :)

No baby yet. I keep wanting my next blog post to announce the birth, huzzah, and all that, but, instead, we're in limbo.

We had the baby on the monitor yesterday and he's doing great.

My wife and I went out for sushi yesterday and she got a fortune cookie that said today would bring good news.

Ah, well, as long as the baby's doing okay, I'm sure waiting, well, tolerable for you two. Here's crossed fingers hoping it all goes smoothly. :)
