Naming Noah

It was midnight and all of a sudden...

Coming from the newspaper business (I was a reporter for several years) and being married to a wife in the paper business (reporter), I find it very difficult to write about serious matters in Blogs. I realize that is kind of elitist since newspapers were probably once scoffed at by literates who only read or wrote books.

Therefore I will not divulge any heart to heart here. Blogs are for discussing issues and current events etc, almost anything, except the birth of your child. I believe some topics are sacred and should never be put in a blog.

But on the other hand if you want to crowd-source predictions for when your baby will be born, that is kind of fun and fair game for glib e-communications. As you can see at the link below, only with the second to last poll taker was the exact date correctly predicted for our baby to be born. And his reasons were amusing:


"Friday, 6 March: actual birth @ 925PM. The full moon isn't until 11 March, but the end of Feb. is the trough. So, the rise to the full will encourage birth, at least according to this unreliable website: http://www.firsttimepregnancy.com/176.html Oh, a girl." - Bill Harrison

There is a good story about the naming of Noah, but I suppose I will tell people in person or save if for the novel I never write.
