taking up GrandPetely duties

[perlmonger]

kalunina‘s as yet unnamed baby moose, Harry John, emerged into our world at just after 2am today in Norwich, weighing 7lb 1011oz, according to his grandfather who was there and cut the cord. Mother and son are well, and ramtops and I will be venturing spinward for the weekend to say “hello” and do what we can to help with this start of a new beginning.

Seems appropriate to slightly paraphrase Kurt Vonnegut at this point:

“Hello, $bubbamoose. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, baby, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, baby—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
