My friend Trish had a baby girl last night – no other details as yet.
My my, there’s an awful lot of breeding going on. I’m feeling all left out.

Book Is On The Way
‘Dead Air‘ is on its way, via air-mail. Hmmmmmmm.
There’s already one person in line to borrow it and it’s at least two weeks away from my mail box.
Daddy?
While in Shepparton recently Rae and I went grocery shopping. All was going well, we had secured our pasta and the garlic bread and were heading for the freezer. We strolled by a trolley that had a toddler standing in it. As we passed he looked me straight in the eye and said ‘Daddy!’.
I smiled and walked away.
Quickly.
Tom – Day One
Here he is. Tom Anthony Janke – nine hours old.
I’m glowing with pride – the middle name is after me.
It’s A Boy!
Helen had a boy! Tom Anthony Janke, born 1.13am September 9, 2002. 7 pounds something (no idea what that is in real weights). Mum and baby fine – Dad emotionally exhausted.
More details and photos to follow later today.
Congratulations Helen and Dale.
Dead Air
Great excitement (no, no baby news yet but this comes a close second). Iain Banks has a new novel!!! Dead Air has only just been released in the UK so I’m going to have to order it. It’s 12 pounds for the book and then another 6 for the postage but $55 is a small price to pay for heaven.
Time to make more room on the top shelf.
Baby News
No news yet. Apparently the baby has just been induced – I assume this means there is a doctor waiving a lollie say “come out now, and you can have this….”
Go Helen!
Oh much excitement – my ‘little’ sister, Helen, is just about to have her first child. Waters have broken and every one is just standing around waiting now.
Stand by for further developments (and pictures).
Confession
I can’t live with it any more, so here goes…
When I was a young lad I would cheat with ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ books.
