The miracle that we have all prayed and waited for has happened. On Wednesday morning, September 3 (at 3:09 A.M.) my first grandchild\u2026 a new Stash Child\u2026 came into this world. Weighing in at a robust 8 pounds\/2 ounces and at a length of 20 1\/2 magnificent inches, young Owen Mitchell was born. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, I know, it seems impossible that the Stash, who we all know and love, has reached this weathered grandparent milestone of life but\u2026 true enough\u2026 it has happened. David Byrne, creative genius of The Talking Heads, said it best when he once asked, \u201cHow did I get here?\u201d I find myself asking the same question.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the baton has been passed, the air is again sweet and our foggy future now seems clear and secure.
