Well, it's official ...

Congrats TBF and Mrs. TBF!! ;D

Get ready to be poor. Get ready to be tired all the time. Get ready for grey hair.

And get ready for more fun than you've ever had.

My daughter leaves for college in August. It seems like just a couple of weeks ago we brought her home from the hospital.

It's a hell of a fun ride.

Congratulations again.

 

Who cares? Spider-Man 2 advertised on MLB bases. Sports are a biz, we of all people should know that.

 

Congratulations. Now you realize you must give your first-born an SportsJournalists.com handle.

 

Congrats T_B_F!

You have a little crawdad muncher on the way!

 

No, I think that responsibility should fall to us...

 

I don't think CI ever let us name his first-born.

 

Congrats on the impending little bagger, TBF!

 

Congrats, TBF. Very cool to hear.

It seems like damn near every one of our married friends has had kids already (except us, we like our alcohol and our partying a little too much yet). So if you need any group advice, I'll be happy to find answers.

And I understand the scariness. Knowing that impending fatherhood is on the horizon somewhere worries the shit out of me. I don't know what's scarier: A little Hustle populating this earth or the fact that I would be a role model to said Lil' Huss.

 

Yep. Going top-shelf is usually reserved for porn.

 

Congrats, man. That's awesome.

Surely you're scared and have no idea what you are in for. Nobody does. You'll do just fine.
As Chris Rock said: "They don't give out grades for fathers. But if your daughter ends up on the pole, you fucked up."
So, if you have girl, just make sure she doesn't become a stripper. That's all.

 

So, three bags, I guess this means you didn't get to finish on her grille.

 

Thanks for all the well-wishes, folks. Mrs. tbf and I certainly appreciate it.

I'll only be around for about four months of the pregnancy. I'm leaving town at the end of July and won't be back until December.

I will, however, be around for the last two months -- when I assume I can be of the most help to her.

She's a tough cookie. An only child, but she's been (and I can only hope, will continue to be) one hell of an Army wife. COMPLETELY independent -- when she has to be, that is.

Thanks, again.
