I've got a British heavy that I paddle occasionally.   I probably should 
also mention I've got a wife that I'm rather attached to also, more even 
more newsworthy is that I've got a new baby boy.

On Saturday as I was about to go out and teach a kayak lesson my wife 
called me on my cell phone and  told me that her water had broken.  After 
talking to her midwife, and because the labor hadn't started at all,  she 
told me to just go ahead and teach the lesson (you can probably tell why 
I'm attached to her).  Nothing more seemed to happen overnight and went to 
the hospital yesterday.  Eli "the adorable" Francis Fereira was born at 
11:32am via C-section.  Mom, Baby, and Dad are all doing well.
