This ain't mundane

I know I violate my own aesthetic credo all the time, but I just have to pause to say something significant. Last week I found out that my wife Sarah and I are going to have a girl this summer. I'm very excited. It's not that I wouldn't have liked a son -- that would have been great too -- but knowing that it's a girl makes the whole thing much more real to me. And I'm not saying that people who choose to be "surprised" (by not finding out the sex in advance) are mssing out or are wrong in anyway -- that's exciting in a different way. Anyway, just thougt I'd share my excitement, corny as it may be.
