Thanks. Both of you.

The wife warned me about getting my hopes for a girl too high but... I asked the magic 8-ball and it said "Yes, definitely" so, in my mind, it's a fact that my baby will be a girl. Even if it's a boy I'm raising a girl. ;)

I'm joking on multiple levels, by the way.

Thank you. We're hoping for a girl but it's still too early to tell. She's only 10 weeks in. Hormones and morning sickness running strong.

Congratulations! Many years!

Glad to be back, my friend. It wasn't intended. Between the move and all the associated home purchasing jazz I simply never logged back in. Before I knew it, it was tonight and I still hadn't been back online. Life sneaks up on you, from time to time, I suppose.

Ah, I know the feeling of life sneaking up on you... and by the way, congratulations on the marriage, and the upcoming new member of your family! God grant you many years!

As for my own life, nothing at all has changed since the last time you were around. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Everything is going well.

Well according to Obi Wan, only Sith deal in absolutes. Since God deals in absolutes, He would technically be a Sith, and thusly, would use a red lightsaber (as the green and blue lightsaber crystals Jedi use are natural minerals wheras Sith use artificially made red crystals)

In the movies, there's blue, green, red, and purple.

In the EU (expanded universe, which is anything besides the movies) there are lightsabers of every color, like yellow, white, black, orange, etc.
