I join you in your celebration. I know that when my granddaugter (the first one to come along) was born, I was not in the least prepared for the wash of emotion that covered me when I first laid eyes on her perfect little body.

I was smitten and have remained so.

Give the little critter a hug for me, and tell his mother and your son that I send greetinging to them and to James Alexander. (What a dandy name. A fine name if ever there was one.)

And toast your wife for a job well done and prepare to assume the mantle of chief spoiler of children. It is a grandfather's purogative to do so.

Here's to James Alexander. I hope to see him kilted at the games very soon.
