Welcome to the Newest Member of My Tribe!


The Nuke and Tuttle have a new addition to the family, he was born at 2345 EST on the 25th of January in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty Three.

Weighing in at a solid 7 pounds and 7 ounces, he bears a striking resemblance to his older brother, Buzz. Stands to reason.

I can't wait to meet the little guy. A trip to Maryland is in the offing.

No politics today, I'm too excited and too tired. (The text messaging between the far-flung members of the tribe began around 2200 local and continued well past midnight. Having waited so long to have the little fellow in the world with us, I couldn't just go to sleep. So asleep by 0100, up at 0545, it was a long day. Longer still for The Nuke, I'm sure.)

Be back tomorrow.

I love my grandkids, it's a thrill to have another one.

  2. Congratulations on the newest addition to the family. May he come to embrace the "joy of living" that Clan Sarge encourages
    Arriving Wednesday at 2345 hours, must observe that he was 15-minutes shy of qualifying as an Australia Day celebrant. Just think, he could have joined the ranks of some probable multitude of blokes named "Bruce". A tip of Mr. Fourex's hat to all hands.

    1. Well as Sydney is sixteen hours ahead of the US East Coast, he was born on the 26th at 3:45 PM, Sydney time. I'd say "close enough, mate!"

      And thanks!

    Just before Christmas -and three days earlier than planned - we were given a granddaughter! First girl baby in my family in over a century.

  7. Wonderful News! Since he's Nuke 's Nubbin, did he come with his own nightlight?? Or are his initials D.U.??? :D Safe travels and happy days to the Clan du Sarge.

    1. Momma commanded the nuclear fire, no doubt he has some background there. (Hopefully not radioactive!)

      Thanks STxAR!

Just be polite... that's all I ask. (For Buck)
Can't be nice, go somewhere else...
