Posting from my brother's house in Minneapolis - my grandson has arrived!

[Left Is Write]

He was born at 7:06 central time this morning, which was about an hour before I boarded the plane to come here. I was on the phone with them at the time, though, so it's almost like I was there.

Arrived in Mpls about 11:30 central time, and went straight to the hospital. The baby's name is Hunter, and he's 8 lb, 1 oz, and 21 inches long. He's got loads of blond hair, exactly like his mother had when she was born.

14. Paul Larson Clinic, by chance?

[Left Is Write]

18. I don't think the Paul Larson clinic was around when I was born 42 years ago.

I am familiar with it, however.

23. It would be close. My dad joined that group 36 years ago (now since retired)

24. Could be, then!

That it was around, I mean. My mother used a GP when I was born.
