Got some news today that is sure to lift my spirits and clear all my blues away.
My favorite cousin, who is like a brother to me, is having a baby.
And this just about makes my year.
My cousin and I have a special connection, forged by possessing similar qualities in a very intense and talented family. We share a similar intellectualism and view of things. When he around 3, we all knew he was a 3000 year old soul just waiting to be realised. We were married (to other people sicko!) within one week of each other. He is also a Marine, just a few weeks from the end of his final tour. But before you get your mental image all set, he's not your typical Marine.
He voted for Nader.
Need I say more?
Anyway, his will be the first addition of a new generation on this side of my family. It's something we have sorely needed for a long time.
I'm giddy.
