re: #26 klys

I found out today that one of my good friends from college is expecting (her first) which is very exciting for her and her husband (one year this past August).

I look at my crew of childless friends and wonder how many of us are still going to be that way in a few more years. I’m getting old enough that I expect it to stabilize soonish.

(And no, mom, the fact that the less-than-bright-bulb from church growing up is having her third is not a reason for me to pop out one, thanks.)

I’ve told the Lizardim before, but in the circles I run in, my mother was (and probably still is, by some) looked down upon because she had her tubes tied after having me. It doesn’t seem to matter to any of them that complications from my birth almost killed her; something something something martyrdom something.
