Some happy news! My wife's sister and her husband have been trying to have a child for something like six or seven years now. I am pleased to share the news that they are now, as the saying goes, "with child" and are expected to be downgraded to "with infant" at the end of May.

I'm an uncle three times over, but this is my wife's first niece of nephew. Yes, when she married me she became an aunt for those three, but it's not the same as a sibling having an actual baby while you are paying attention.

Halloween can be fun for young and old. But it's also dangerous.

A friend of a friend was at a party when her costume was ignited by a candle. Her injuries are sufficient that she was flown to the regional burn center, and is currently in an induced coma. Her survival seems doubtful.
