Awesome Ceeboo, congrats. Nothing is better. Boy or girl? Is your name going to be ceeboo? That would be classic.
Thanks. Markk! I a am super stoked........

If all continues to go well, my daughter will be having a boy mid-July.

I did suggest "Ceeboo", but I don't think mom and dad are on board. :)

"Ty Cobb." Or "Al Kaline" if you're worried about bad karma.

Two great suggestions, in my opinion - But Dad is from New York, so I don't think either suggestion would be considered.

My SIL (Great guy) is Jewish. He tells me that it is a Jewish tradition to name the first boy after a family member who is deceased. His grandpa's name was Jack - They have been thinking about Jack James (JJ).

(Thanks for the congrats, BR)

Congrats Ceeboo. I'm kinda baby hungry myself. However, I don't want to be in my 70's when the child graduates from high school. I guess I have a couple of more years to work with, lol.

You must be excited. I know I would be.

Considering I will indeed be in my mid 70's (God willing) when my grandchild graduates from high school, I wanted to thank you for providing the wonderful thought/reality. :)

I really am quite excited.

South American drug lords are also big family men and care about their children and grandchildren. What they don't care about is other people's children and grandchildren. I mean, I guess if a big cartel boss joined the forum and announced he was having a grandchild we'd at least be happy he wasn't on a bender and out to kill everyone in sight, family or not. So there is a limited good there.

It's easy to want the best for your family while pressing a red button -- while wearing a red hat -- to have other families held in detention centers. Which is now ramping up again to the cheers of the people. I hope for the best for the grandchild. Assuming he or she grows up with a conscious and a working moral compass, it will be possible for the grandchild to both love his or her grandparent and also realize the the grandparent was a moral failure.

I am, of course, not pronouncing judgment upon anybody in this post, I'm merely pointing out possible states of the world.
