My Daughter

You can’t really see her face here, but I’ve uploaded some more pictures to Flickr, if you’re interested.

Clara Madeleine Goodwin was born at 7:33 AM on Friday. She weighed 8 lbs. and was 19" long. She shows all the signs of being a good baby, and her big brother is both tolerant of and occasionally interested in her presence.

While in the hospital with Clancy, I read about two-thirds of Gene Wolfe’s latest, The Sorcerer’s House, which I so far like a great deal more than his last two books, even if Wolfe is drawing upon some fairly outlandish academic stereotypes. More soon.
