Cindy and Geoff did a great job and produced Caedmon Geoffrey, a wonderful, healthy baby boy at 7:12pm on May 20. He’s 9 lbs 1 oz, 21 inches tall. His plumbing works so well that he peed on the doctor during delivery. I take that as a great omen!

Researchers have found a strong correlation between newborn feeding patterns and the seemingly immutable “night person” or “morning person” patterns which govern our adult lives. Dr. Emily Erudita of the Hatch Institute of Mamalian Studies reports in today’s issue of Pan Generational Physiology,

I hope that you, too, find the love of your life.

Old Song
Do not seek too much fame,
but do not seek obscurity.
Be proud.
But do not remind the world of your deeds.
Excel when you must,
but do not [...]
Yup, I’m a proud papa. Kevin Zemon graduated yesterday from Ft. Zumwalt North High School, O’Fallon, MO.
No two ways about it, I am hugely proud of my son, Kevin, who attained Eagle rank in Boy Scouts. Last night was his court of honor. There are more pictures in my on-line gallery but here is one of my favorites:
