December 19. Tuesday Night.

Hi Journey.

A quiet, serene joy grips me tonight, Journey. Today was Emmanuel Anthony Clover’s first day on planet Earth, and I am grateful.

Mom, son and Dad all doing quite nicely. APGAR scores great and no jaundice for young master Manny, who burst on the scene at 3:20 this morning.

Shelly and I both dawdled about the hospital most of the afternoon, just looking at little Manny through the glass and cooing like a couple of teenagers. I could tell that Shelly really wants to make one of her own with Dirk.

I don’t understand why that lunk doesn’t just propose to her.

Me? I’m in noooo hurry, J.

Viv and Dana plus the new temp, Amy, kept the shop under control all afternoon. Although this week has been pretty quiet, all-in-all.

Grateful tonight, J. Grateful for a new life, and that my friend Joni is OK.

Goodnight, Journey.
