This is the out of order post. I mentioned above about the arrival of NG2 to the world. There is an interesting story to share about it as well.
A couple months back I bought tickets for a concert. Turned out to be the same night NG2 was born (what timing). It was a big double-header affair with two older, big name bands I like. OK, maybe I liked one more than the other, but it's my story.
Anyway, when the timing was such that it looked like NG2 was going to make an entrance Thursday night, I basically got told not to worry about the show. I was not going to be put in a position to miss it for the delivery. In short, I was ORDERED to go to the show.
Like that was going to happen.
It was actually getting pretty close. I waited and waited for news. It was getting closer to the last minute all the time. Very close to pulling the plug on the concert, I went down to the truck to make sure I had everything I needed for a hasty drive to the arena. JUST IN CASE.
While I was at the truck, Dudette texted me that NG2 had arrived and I'd better get my butt back up to welcome him here so I could get going.
Ya know? Elevators take a L-O-N-G time when you're in a rush...both ways.
They hadn't even had time to clean NG2 up when they ushered me in. WAY COOL to be the first from outside the room to greet the new one. Words don't cover it.
I made it to the concert in good time.
Now, if you had to ask me which one left a bigger impression, 5+ minutes with NG2, or 4 hours of two solid bands...well...that was one HOT 5 minutes.
In case you're wondering, my feet were glued till the delivery was made. The clan really didn't get a vote on that one. But MAN, was the timing good. *WHEW!* BTW...I also got him a concert shirt...It's going to be fun explaining that one to him later on.
Timing happens.
Sweet story, WD. You are one fantastic grandfather!
