My wife just gave birth to beautiful 8lbs girl.

She is healthy and happy and so is mom. So I may not be around much for the next little while. I'll try to drop in on occassion. But for now, duty calls.

I came across this lately.

Diderot, Denis (1713 â€“ 1784) wrote:Among the objects nature everywhere offers to our desires, you who have a soul, tell me if there is anything more worthy of your pursuit, anything that can make us happier than the possession and enjoyment of a being who thinks and feels as you do, who has the same ideas, who experiences the same sensations, the same ecstasies, who brings her affectionate and sensitive arms towards yours, who embraces you, whose caresses will be followed with the existence of a new being who will resemble one of you, who will look for you in the first movements of life to hug you, whom you will bring up by your side and love together, and who will protect you in old age, who will respect you at all times, and whose happy birth has already strengthened the tie that bound you together?
