Our grand-daughter, Lydia-Renée, was born just a day ago. Mother and child are doing fine. As I have been telling people, little Lydia-Renée is just one more good reason to fix the 21st century.

“A thing which I regret, and which I will try to remedy some time, is that I have never in my life planted a walnut. Nobody does plant them nowadays—when you see a walnut it is almost invariably an old tree. If you plant a walnut you are planting it for your grandchildren, and who cares a damn for his grandchildren?”
― George Orwell
