I am proud to annouce the birth of my second portage monkey!!! 6 lbs, 3 ounces, 19 inches long and over one month early! He is going to grow up to be a fine portage partner indeed!

Still debating name.............I am contending for Zarek. Born at 0913 today.

Who I am precedes what I do, not the other way around.

Very nice Bumabu-I would suggest William for a name. Pork eater relax. It all comes naturally. I've got three teenagers and it is a blast watching them grow up. My wife and I had two in one year-1992-son Feb 7th-Daughter Dec 31st. If you start now you may beat my record. Great job.
