Late Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Now you can start indoctrinating your son: Monk, Powell, Nichols, Hope ... quietly from the speakers. A future pianist you'll have! Congratulations! Quote
catesta Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Any names decided yet ? We have a fine selection from the board. Quote
Big Al Posted July 17, 2003 Report Posted July 17, 2003 Congratulations, Tony and family!!! I've got a 7-year old, and I can tell you that every day has been a treasure. Even the bad days; I'd rather have a bad day with him than a good day without him! Quote
slsmcgrew Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Congratulations and best wishes. Your in for the ride of your life and every minute is worth it. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Your in for the ride of your life and every minute is worth it. Liar, liar...you obviously haven't had a series of shoving matches break out over doll & pony outfits in your house this fine muggy afternoon? GIRLS!!! DADDY HAS TO MAKE A JAZZ CD FOR MR. STEFAN AND MR. JAMES, SO SINCE IT'S A NICE DAY OUTSIDE WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY ??? :rsmile: oh, and how about getting daddy a cool beverage on the way out? *** Yeah, it is a pretty good time...best wishes.

DrJ Posted July 19, 2003 Author Report Posted July 19, 2003 Thanks sincerely, everyone, for the good wishes. Home from the hospital today - not much sleep these past 3 days, but a whole lot of silly grins between us! To answer a question posed above, his name is Alexander. Not a family name or anything, we just liked it as well as the shorter "Alex" (the nickname is the downfall of many otherwise perfectly good names, IMHO) and especially appreciated the fact that it has equivalents in just about all of our ethnicities (between Lisa and I we have Italian, Croatian, Mexican, Filipino, English, and Irish represented...so Alejandro, Alessandro, Alexei, etc). Won't be checking in much in near future, I can tell - it's taken me all day to get to this brief post and it's now 8:30 PM - but will when I get a chance. Back to the fun for now... Quote

vajerzy Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 Wonderful news! Isn't it amazing how a little babies are born? My wfe and I are the proud owners of a little girl who we adopted- we received the final adoption order from the judge a few days ago.....we've been doing foster care for her since 1/31/02 and now she's ours!. I hope her bio-mom gets her life together and someday when she's grown up both of them will meet......in this case, Annie and the bio-mom are better off.....she's not my biological offspring but I can imagine loving a child more than she..... We listen to jazz every night during "tubby".....tonight was the Bossa Nova Years by Stan Getz. Foster care is very rewarding (and very hard!) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 Good for you and your wife Vajerzy. I admire your work and envy your emotions. Quote
Dmitry Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 (edited) Congratulations from the father of a nine-month old Elizaveta Leedia. Edited July 20, 2003 by Dmitry Quote
paul secor Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 Congratulations to both new families! You are truly blessed. Quote
DrJ Posted July 20, 2003 Author Report Posted July 20, 2003 Congratulations Vajerzy! What a wonderful feeling being a daddy is. Yesterday Alex and I did our first jazz listening session - we did a kind of memorial to Benny Carter. I figure you might as well start with a true master and someone who embodies the whole history of the music. I played some selections from his 1930's material (including the stuff with Hawkins and Django), then Keynote sessions, Capitol big band recordings, Granz dates with Oscar Peterson, ASPECTS (United Artists) to capture his "studio work" period, and finally the wonderous FURTHER DEFINITIONS (Impulse!), one of my favorite jazz recordings. He dug it, if kicking and looking around was any indication! Quote
Guest Chaney Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 ...He dug it, if kicking and looking around was any indication! It certainly is an indication of enjoyment. Add gurgling and drooling while listening and Alex and I are very much alike. Quote
