Congratulations this morning to my “little brother” Jeremy and his wife Karie, who delivered their first child on Tuesday. It’s a girl, whom they’ve named Savannah. Anybody who knows Jer well probably can guess the inspiration<\/a> for the name. (If I may be so bold, I’m going to take a tiny bit of credit here, because I’m the one who turned Jer into a Parrothead many years ago).
\nI don’t know any of the stats like weight, length, etc., because, as I explained to The Girlfriend last night, Jer and I are guys<\/i>, and guys don’t pay attention to stuff like that as long as the kid’s healthy. Which, happily, she is.<\/p>\n

Jeremy was all of 16 or 17 years old when I first met him. I was much older and far more worldly — I was about 20. In a very real way, I watched him grow up, and all kidding aside, he does seem very much like a younger brother to me. To be honest, I was an immature 20, and the two of us shared a lot of growing-up-type experiences — our first jobs (sweeping up popcorn at the multiplex), road trips, all-night bull sessions, dating, and a few other things he probably doesn’t want me to broadcast. And now he’s a dad. It’s going to take me a while to get used to that idea, more than it did for any of my other friends who’ve had children, I think. But I know he’s going to be a good dad. Even if there are a couple of photo albums he’ll want to burn before little Savannah gets a look at them. Not to worry, though, kid; Uncle Jas has copies of everything, and even better, he’s a storyteller<\/i>…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
