Congratulations to Bud on the new granddaughter! (And the son in the Navy!)

Got some great news from our regular Bud (a.k.a. William Bloom). He’s a grandpa — again.

Above you see his second granddaughter, who was literally born yesterday, weighing in at 6 lbs., 11 oz.

He’s also got a son graduating from U.S. Navy training up at Great Lakes, and he is beside himself:

I’ve got a real dilemma. My son graduates from navy boot camp Friday in Chicago and my new granddaughter is in Brooklyn. Can’t be in 2 places. Since the Chicago trip is already planed I guess that’s where I’ll be. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can go to Brooklyn. My head is still spinning over all this excitement.

That is all so wonderful, Bud. We’re thrilled for you. Have a wonderful trip to Great Lakes — and to Brooklyn as well.
