Proud Future Papa!

Tonight I am proud to make it official and announce that after years of trying to bring a little audiophile into the world, my wife Nooshin and I are expecting the birth of our first child, though the doctor is leaving open the possibility we might be having a Stereo pair! We will find that news out when we have our next visit to the doctor on July 15th... Which happens to be my birthday...

Keep us in your prayers, and thanks you guys for being the kind of people I am proud to hang out with and call friends.

    Awesome news!
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    Congratulations. It's a wonderful thing, especially IF you're a good parent and give the kid enough space to become a different individual. His or her own. It's a tough job, because you can't be too overbearing nor too permissive. You DON'T want to imbue him/her with YOUR own ideology but give them the space to decide for themselves. That's hard, really hard. And I doubt many here succeed at that, because they're so set in their ways and beliefs! But I wish you and your wife all the best.

    And yeah, you better get on that treadmill, bike, track, and in the weight room, etc. 5-6 times a week, watch what you eat and stay in shape. Especially at your age. Heck, I'm probably ten years older and I do ALL of that. Don't look a day over 45. Regardless of what lightman1 says. I look "younger" than he does. But then again, he works outside and I have a complexion that is very oily and does NOT wrinkle much and I'm inside a lot-NO SUN DAMAGE, I had to produce my Driver's license the other day to PROVE I was an OLD **** to a woman at the DMV who was thirty, and refused to believe me! lol

    Now back to "The Rebellious Nose Hair" Maybe you boys will get a chance to read it some day. Unfortunately, it's NOT empirical! OMG! This place is so full of it, sometimes, and we have so many STARS it's so hard to tell who shines the "brightest", but really who cares! John, your little ONE WILL best US all! And that is as IT should BE!

    Enjoy!

    I give all new parents the same advice. Labyrinth, David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, is one of the greatest movies ever. You'll find out why when your children are about 2 years old.

    This will be the best less than $10 you will spend in your life.

    If you end up with "stereo" pair
    Don't let Noosh catch you adjusting their carriers in stereo during a crying session

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.
