Larry:

One of the perks of being the editor is that I get to be the first Archipelagoan to offer up my congratulations, and to welcome Curtis Caine to our extended circle.

I remember the dark days when you and Diane were afraid you might not be able to have kids of your own. And now you have a girl AND a boy. And a house for that matter. Can the station wagon and the dog be far behind?

Congratulations! And welcome aboard, Curtis Caine!
