I'm UNCLE Old Gregg!

So. This last week has been an eventful one to say the least. As such, I figured a little update on this thing would be in order.

Tristan and Lizanne had a baby girl! Eva Bean Federico! I am an uncle - an honorary one anyway! Pretty exciting stuff!

On wednesday, I had surgery to fix my hernia. My operation time was bumped and I waited around the hospital all day - but Lou and I managed to keep busy, and win $14 on 'scratch and wins' in the process. Pretty sweet. The surgery went off without any problems - though I am now sore as shit, and have three holes in my mid-section. No fun. Extra no fun being that I will have to miss the Turkey Bowl this year. Stupid hernia. But check out my holes!


Lou got me an assortment of gifts to help with my recovery. Included were several sweet games and old movies to watch. We watched Guys and Dolls last night. Sinatra was great, and his songs definitely took the cake, but I found myself a little more partial to Marlon Brando (or his acting anyway) in the end. Pretty awesome though. Tonight, we will watch Casablanca! Also amongst the gifts was a RUBIK'S CUBE! You may notice that the completion of said cube has been sitting idle on my 'to do' list. Well, it's status is idle no longer. I am by no means a master of the cube, but 3 completions in one day means I am well on my way!



Now... here is the big news! Ready for it.

Honorary uncle status aside... As of May, 2009 I will be Uncle Old Greg, for real. Ashlee and Tony broke the news last night! Everyone is super stoked, which is rad! I will be honest though, I didn't think this would come so soon. But it's come, and we are happy. I guess I best be brushing up on my baby skills - at least a little bit!
