Default personal announcement

I wanted to apologize for not having been very present on the Sphere for the last year or more.

News: My wife and I have adopted a child! A newborn girl, all cuteness and dirty diapers and no sleep (for her or us--see Maryann's poem for further details!).

I'm working on poems, but in the meantime I just wanted to say keep up the good work, all of you.

Got to go pop the pacifier back in.

-Peter

Best wishes, Peter.

Is there a 'baby poems' thread here anywhere?

Blessings, Peter! Many congratulations, and may an increase in sleep hours come soon.

Ed, I can't recall a baby poems thread, so let's start one up on D&A. That will guarantee that an old one turns up.

What wonderful news! The best part of life is babies and children. And teenagers aren't so bad as they are reputed to be. Congratulations.

Mazel tov! What could be better news than that?

But you have failed in your responsibilities here at Erato by not posting a photograph.

Good luck to you and your wife and your adopted little girl, Peter. Thanks for this update. Will look forward to reading your new work when you get ready to post it.

Chris
