To let everyone know: The birth of my second child is now imminent. He will absolutely be born on March 26, if he hasn't made his grand entrance before then.

When that happens, I'll be at reduced presence for a while. My goal is to get the Caliphate origin story done by then.

This shouldn't preclude anyone else's play. The mods have discussed the potential likelyhood of various unpleasantness in the 1920ish timeframe which might or might not include me as a belligerent, and are prepared for such a notion.

I won't be disappearing completely. Indeed, with plans to take a month off from work, I might even be more visible here if all goes well. :) But if you send me PMs or something over the next 6 weeks or so, expect a less prompt response than you might be used to.

If you have any schemes, proposals, etc. involving the Ottomans, Mughals, Persians, or Khazaks, now would be a good time to let me know though.

March 26th is a great date to have a birthday as my daughter can well attest.

Best wishes to you and your family!

Congratulations, did you get blue Cigars?

I got through the first one sans cigar, and he's turned out pretty good (so far). So I'm trying not to do anything differently for this one. :)

LOL, its kind of a Family joke.  When I was born my dad didnt smoke but my Grandpa insisted he had to get Cigars, so he got these Blue Bubblegum Cigars and gave them away.  he saved one for me and gave it to me when I got married, I still have it and honestly as stupid as it may sound its prized possessions (even if my Marriage was a total disaster)

It's the silly family heirloom stuff that always means the most. My first has a teddy bear on his bed that I dragged around by the arm for about 5 years, once upon a time. My Dad bought it in Buffalo of all places.

Congrats, Guinness.
Will he be a Bulldog or a Yellow Jacket when he grows up?
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in old Baghdad;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

His mother is a bulldog. I'm a BU Terrier though of course. Most of my family went to Vanderbilt, but I grew up a tech fan.

All that said, both boys will likely be GA State Panther fans after they start playing next year. Cheap convenient tickets.
