So... big news on the family front. I am an uncle! I was before, actually, but my older brother, John, and his wife, Teuta, just had their first. So I have not uncled on that side yet. ("Uncle" is not usually a verb, I know, but it amuses me to use it as one.)

Anyway, the new niece is named Sara Kathlene Towler. She arrived very early yesterday morning, slightly ahead of schedule and with what sounds like a very easy transition into the world (good for her and the mother). I know she has chosen very wisely for parents, this young person, so she's off to a good start. I'm looking forward to meeting her.
