Enjoy and congratulations (if it is yours, you never said :-) )

Best,

--------------
Thanks!

If it's not mine, I'll put on Steely Dan's "Haitian Divorce" and cry
into my beer  :-) 

Actually, Lucy and I won't be marrying:

(1) take one former entrepreneur and executive who gets Chronic
Fatigue ("post viral immune deficiency syndrome" to be precise).

(2) Add one 41 year old woman in heavy duty nesting mode who
naturally likes the executive version better.

(3) Add a medically low probability of woman getting pregnant.

Mix well, and surprise!  :-)

Given the unfortunate series of circumstances, we're really doing
very well. I try to help Lucy out once or twice per week, and then my
retired father comes down from Baltimore once a week to help *me*
out.

It's better that Lucy will have to take care of one infant, and not two.
Given that Lucy is from Ukraine, we're both grateful that I have a
very loving and supportive extended family. Everything will turn
out very much for the best - in this I have faith.

Scott

p.s. If anyone has ever wondered (1) why I post so much or (2) why
I usually post in the middle of the night (EST) or (3) why I don't post
more photographs - all are because of the Chronic Fatigue. It messes
one up in oh so very many ways. Thankfully it's not fatal, if maybe
fatal to the male ego.  Specialists tell me I'll get better - some day.

I had to give up trying to soup film a year ago, exchanging my beloved
HP5+ and Delta 100 for C41 or E6 film or digital. Yuck!!!  The LUG is
becoming my vicarious photographic hobby :-)
