Welcome Jackson Matthew Green



Sarah Jane and Justin Green have announced that Jackson Matthew Green has arrived in this world. Their 6 pound 15.5 ounce baby boy was born on Friday March 7 2008 at 6:50 PM in Manhattan, Kansas at a birthing center.

Yes, it is true, I am now a grandfather. So the tides of time and the march of the generations continue.

Sarah is proud of how it went, and especially that she "pushed him out without an epidural." She says that the Reggae dub music that I sent her worked very well during labor. She was home very quickly and is now settling in for the long tenure of raising a child.

I liked the way that she and Justin, both very active debate coaches, had taken March off so that they could focus on family. They are about as intense as it gets when it comes to debate coaching, so it showed a considerable sense of priority.

I am very proud of how they have planned for and executed all of this, and now we get the benefit of watching Jackson develop and grow.

I am flying out Thursday, will spend Friday and Saturday there, and then will fly back on Sunday. You can expect another report then.

I am going to call him Jax.
