    Having done that, Manny, I now inform you that I am holding you and your wife In The Light, for a blessed birth on whatever day you wish, currently known as the Fourth of May.

    Well, of course--I'll pray all goes well and exactly on schedule. Wondering the significance of the date for you (unless it's a secret!)

    Sending you good vibes for a healthy bub and an extra zap of the force for the fourth.
    We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

    Maybe start the same poll here also? Congratulations on the baby, whether Jedi or not.

    Ooo, a May Fourth baby would indeed be delightful. (For those less geeky this is a play on "May the force (fourth) be with you")

    Either way, yay for you guys!

    I have cast a vote for you it took a little finding in order to help others to help you here is a link

    http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/fo...ancy-schmancy/

    On the baby side I do hope that your baby is born on your desired date however as long as mother and baby are healthy you will be so over the moon you won't care about dates.
    Please make sure that you are present there is nothing better than seeing your child come into this world.

    Hi Manny!
    Great to see you back, I was wondering where you'd gone.

    Did the pen you lent me get back to you OK?
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

    Congratulations to you, Manny, and to your good lady. Whether it is Luke, or Leia, born on the fourth, or not, I know any child of yours is lucky and blessed. Although the force is not with me, I will, nonetheless, add my hopes and wishes for you.
