Pass out the havanas!

No matter how many times I get uncled, it never gets old. He may have another trendoid name, but at least this is one with a tenuous connection to our heritage, being the name of one of the ancient kings of Munster. My older brother asked for a nickname on a par with "Ike" for his older brother, and I suggested "the OG" on the basis of his initials. I suppose one could also go with "Og", even if it does make him sound like (quoth monshu) "some sort of lumbering monster". I'll be honest that I was praying for a St Patrick's Day baby as hard as my SIL was hoping for a St Joseph's Day one, so we must've cancelled each other out. He ends up coming on the Feast of St Narcissus of Gerona, which is none too shabby. For all I know, there are even daffodils in bloom down in STL already. I mean, they're almost out here, against all expectations.

I guess this means we'll soon be heading south for another christening. For once, at least, we won't have to worry about going off the road in a blizzard or dissolving into the liquid atmosphere of a St Louis summer. If a certain someone is really lucky, there may even be some kind of crazy quilt convention that weekend! Now for the decision: Do I buy another bottle of wine to store for his 21st, or should I plump for a bottle of Irish whiskey instead?

The Mysterious Mr. O

I like our BIL's term: Mr. O. It doesn't come tripping off the tongue, but it has a certain drama to it. My guess he'll just be called O.

Once they pick out a date for the christening, I'll look into baseball tickets.

Our sister has suggested that their current nicknames (Drewbie, E-Man, Littlest Guy, and Mr. O) make them sound like a superhero group (with Littlest Guy as a sidekick).

So maybe they should really call him The One (in honor of our new President).
