I found out I was going to be a father when my girlfriend, love of my life, my lover, showed up for the annual DragonCon dinner Friday night at Trader Vic’s hosted by one of my oldest friends. When she arrived, I went outside to meet her so I could lead her to the back where we where seated and she told me she had something to tell me. I should also mention she was wearing one of my Boston Bruin’s t-shirts as I learned later in an attempt to calm me.

Not sure what the first thing was I thought, But I do remember once my brain stopped its quick spin I had this un-expected thought of happiness and a whole new world of possibilities and adventures opened up. I found I was excited about this more than I thought I would be.

When I was growing up I wrongfully accused my dad of being the old “dad”. He was 30 when I was born, Now here I am having my first child at 48. I wonder if he is getting a good laugh out of this, Good nature of course. 🙂

Maybe I found a new use for this site and can work out loud how I do with being a parent.

So yeah… I wonder if my child will ever google this link and find it in some way back machine archive.
