I have flown to Kansas City and then driven on to Manhattan, Kansas to visit with my new grandson, Jackson Green. The son of Sarah Jane and Justin Green was born a week ago this evening and seems to be doing well.
I arrived in Manhattan at about 2 AM Friday morning, and after a morning of mostly sleep, I dropped in and spent some nice hours with Jackson, Sarah and Justin along with grandmother Sally and her partner Doris who are visiting from Germany. Megan Harlow, one of my former students who is now an assistant debate coach at Kansas State also dropped by, and it was good to visit with her. It was a nice day of conversation punctuated by Jackson waking up, eating and looking around. Jackson seemed very well-tempered and enjoying the attention, which is pretty good for one week old.
The house has been very well fixed up for the transition to a child, and a lot of new work in the basement has expanded the living space in their very nice home. Sarah notes that croquet season is not far away.
I will be here tomorrow for more visiting before returning to Vermont on Sunday.
So, I guess I am a grandfather.
