New starts all round....

I was just coming to terms with Barack Obama being elected the next president of the USA when in pops an email from my friend in Nurnberg. He has just announced the arrival of his first born, a son. He's only a bit younger than me (the father that is) so is in his late 40s; brave man! Still it's good to hear, as he is a great bloke and will make a great father. So it's new starts all round. I think my friend will have a easier time than Barack! ...get a bit of sleep and learn to change a nappy and all will be ok. Barack has to resurrect the American (and hence the world) economy as well as sorting out the USA's involvement in two wars and trying to get a solution to the middle east problem. Just for starters!
Anyway, lets raise a glass to the new baby... Sláinte
