Congrats, Craig, and I'm glad things ended well. It sounds like there were some anxious moments. Good for you for putting your career on idle to be there for your wife and children. Now two of them. We haven't met but you just went on my permanent Good Guys list.
Scarlett -- bold name! And I don't say that just because I happen to like Scarlett Johanssen. I predict she will be a bold person who lives up to her name.
And oh, BTW, take it from a father of two daughters -- she is going to have you wrapped around her little finger within a year <g>. And you'll love it. YMMV but I don't think there is anything cooler in the world than daughters. Mine are 17 and 14 and I still wonder sometimes what I did to deserve getting so lucky.
>And here I thought no one would notice. :) Thanks to everyone for the kind words, prayers and well wishes. Claire and I had a baby girl on Tuesday - Scarlett Elizabeth Boyd. She was a healthy 8 lbs. 1.8 oz. when she entered this world. Tamar and Marcia have already pretty much explained what has happened. My popularity caused my workload to explode and that coupled with all the other stuff (pregnancy complications, etc.) kept me from having anything that even resembled free time. The upside of all of this is a beautiful baby girl and some quality time with my lovely wife and 4 year old son Chris, the downside has been a stagnant blog, missing OzFox, missing the MVP Summit, and being unable to give session proposals or lend support to any of the great Visual FoxPro conferences and user group meetings that are coming up. The programmer in me has deeply regretted this, however the father and husband in me couldn't be happier. Thank you again for all of the emails, the threads here and
>elsewhere, and most of all for your patience. I'm not done rocking this boat yet, I'll be back in force soon.

>>He was keeping it up to date fairly consistently, but, then all of a sudden...nothing. I've also noticed that he's not visiting here either and I though that he used to drop in every once in a while.

>>Craig...I miss your blog!
