Big S-Day Last Thursday...

Post by reinhard »

For my family at least -- baby boy was born. I wanted to honor the little fellow's arrival with an S of some kind but the (surprisingly good) hospital kitchen was closed by the time we thought to order. At least I skipped shovelglove!

Congratulations. Would giving cigars violate NOS?
