Dang, I feel like a broken record.I started the comment story a couple of weeks ago and have only managed to eek out about a page so far. Partly because all those wild comments are kicking my butt, but mostly because I just can't seem to find the time to sit down for more than a few minutes at any stretch. One of these days I suppose I'll get to it. In the mean time I have to remind myself, "Guilt free blogging Jeff."
In other news, my older (much, much older) brother Gene is going to be a Grandfather. Wow does it feel weird typing that! His oldest daughter Steffani and her Husband Josh are expecting the new arrival in late May. I believe the official due date is the twenty-fifth. This will make me a great uncle. I have of course, always been one, but now I'll have the lofty title to prove it. Bwahahahaha
Good grief, I can't believe she is having a baby. I still remember her being a little girl playing with Barbies and such. Dang, these kids grow up fast don't they? Now she's a young woman preparing for parenthood herself. Congrats my dear!
More to follow when life settles a bit for me. Until then, Ciao

Congrats to Stephanie & Josh. Babies are worth the title us older folks must endure. Don't you just love hearing a baby laugh?
Your brother may get you for that, "much, much older" comment! LOL Take your time and don't worry, we'll still be here.
Congratulations to your niece and her husband!
Absolutely, Great Uncle!
Like Nitbyrd shared, take your time and don't worry, we'll ALWAYS be here.
And let me also say....CONGRATULATIONS to you, Steffani and Josh!
YAHOOOOO a babino on the way!!!
Love em'!
Boy - I do know what you mean about the "Busy" thing and in my case, I'm not even working as I am now at that magical age of retirement. (Actually, I've sort of been on "retirement" for the past six years due to disability but now, it's official as I am now 65 -going on...., ya know!
And being a great-uncle -almost as good as being a grandparent! You'll love it which will make up for any itsy-bitsy negative age-based thoughts you may be harboring!
Peace!
A new generation, that rocks!
You know, little kids love bananas...
makes you a great uncle!
Oh a new baby - how wonderful!
Well it's been AAAAYYYYYYY-ges since I've seen you. How are ya?
Guilt free is right Jeff - just take your time! I do. hehe.
Great uncle? Wow. It's like when our kids reach milestones - makes us feel proud and old at the same time!
A broken 45? Now you're REALLY showing your age, Jeff. Bwahahaha!
I know the feeling when your first niece or nephew gets married and/or has a baby. It's kind of a blow to the ego. Now I'm a great-aunt EIGHT times over - whew!
Congratulations to all! Parents, grandparents, and great uncles alike.
That is great for Grampa Gene!
guilt free for sure...
sending you and your family a hug from The Teamster and me!
Whoa.
HOLY buckets...
Life is so busy now. Congrats on the upcoming new family addition.
My niece refers to me as "Crazy Uncle Dick"...That kid will have your number soon enough... Congrats!
The nice thing about being a great Aunt is that I get to teach them so much silly stuff and I love that!
Congratulations to the family.
I have also always been a great uncle. Congrats on the title!
Happy Grandunclehood!
Are you ready with a Peace Globe at least?
great uncle Jeff!! how cool is that
no need to apologize and definitely don't feel guilty
blogging is supposed to work around life, not the other way around
Glad to hear from you, and I know how life manages to get in the way...but how great to take the time to enjoy it! Congrats on being a new Uncle...and not just an Uncle, a GREAT UNCLE...so enough with that Grandpa stuff, lol!
