It's been a really good twelve months for me. Seeing the Astros in the World Series may have been a once in a lifetime experience. I got to go to Singapore, the Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary. Work was 100x better for me than the previous year, and Jane got a job.

Going to the Ohio State game and seeing the Horns win was unbelievably exciting. I got to watch the Horns go undefeated and then I got to go to the Rose Bowl and see them beat (sarcasm alert) the greatest team of all time. I had an odd feeling after that game that - a sense of fulfilled hope. I felt a satisfaction that I really never had before in 33 years of watching sports. My friend Pat, who has gone to every game - home, away and neutral - for about 10 years said, "It is over. I'm done. No more. Let the bandwagon fans follow the Horns now, I need a nap." I wouldn't go to that extreme, but I would say that I felt an urge to move on.

Well, little did we know it, but there was a 3rd Friou at the game with us. This is good news because it means that what we paid per Friou to see the game is less than we thought. It is also good news because it means I am going to be a dad and Jane is going to be a mom.

My days of going to 9 or so games a year are done for a while. That is fine with me. This is a lot better and a lot more exciting. We don't know if we are having a "Rose Friou" or a 'Vince Friou" yet, and I can't say that I care. I am just really anxious for Sept 12 to get here. Here's a picture of RF/VF:

Pretty cool, huh?

Craig-

Congratulations. We don't speak as often as we should but I read the blog regularly as the lazy man's alternative to actually picking up the phone.

As a father of both a girl and a boy, I can say you really can't go wrong either way.

I will pass on the good news to Kelly and please send our regards to Jane.

Congratulations

Kevin.
