Now just a darn minute here, all those diapers had better have not been changed!!!! I demand my rights as a surrogate (although MIA, of late) Unk, and expect that a least a few diapers will be left for me to change.

I am sorry that I haven't gotten to this one. I resolved the fight that I had to fight (principles intact), and as a result of the good fight, I got promoted. The bad news is that I am on an airplane on Monday, and not back until Friday. Spending my time organizing slaughterhouse workers in South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska.

These are two of my favorite people in the world, and I just couldn't be happier!! I was at a music gathering last weekend, and the list indicated that Dan would be there, so I thought he would bring Geeta and the new wee one. But only Uncle Ken was there. Not even Grandma Nancy.

Bless this baby and bless these wonderful parents. Kiran, one day you will realize what a gift that God bestowed on you by bringing you into this family. You will know love, you will know the joy of education, you will know cultures, and you will have the gift of music, young lad. And with all this, you will make a difference in this world. And the world will be better for it.

Love to all, and I will be by to change the diaper,

Uncle Mick
