Five Little Swineherds

Swineherdess Number 2 came early Christmas Eve morning. The midwife barely made it in time. It was such a close thing that I roused Swineherdess Number 1 to serve as an extra pair of hands in case I had to catch the babe. She was fascinated, giggly, and completely undisturbed by her mother’s travails. I take this as a sign that the female lack of empathy has some utility.

It wasn’t a silent night, but it was mostly calm, and all looks bright for mother and child.

  1. Whoa, congratulations! For some reason I thought you already had five and I definitely overlooked the fact that you had one on the way.

  2. Thanks, guys.

    I didn’t mention it, Doctor. Haven’t had much blogging gumption lately.

  3. A little bit of knowledge goes a long way in all situations in life.
    Buying a car is no different! That means you need to read advice from experts, as
    detailed below, to ensure that when you shop for that
    car, you really know what you’re doing and how to get the best deal.

  4. cars, you read my mind. I’ve been trying to decide whether to buy a 1983 Mercedes 300CD, or a 1982 Mercedes 300TD.

    On the one hand, the diesel coupe is a sexier car. On the other hand, I can fit my entire family in the diesel station wagon.
