The Bird & Babe Public House

We offer pithy pontifications by the pint-full, and the best brain-food this side of Blogsford. There's no cover charge, and it's all you can eat/drink (although we strongly encourage moderation). Like any other pub, we always appreciate a good tip.

Uncle Steve

Well, one of the pub's best friends, Uncle Steve, just paid us all a visit out here on the left coast; and it was so good to see him and his family. Steve and his wife were recently blessed with a beautiful baby girl, and this was our first chance to meet her.

If you've ever met Steve, then you know that he always has a good story to tell, and his last visit did not disappoint. One anecdote that stuck with me was the following: Steve and his family, as well as his siblings, went to his parents' house for the holidays, as they do most years. When his sister first saw the newest addition to the family, she said to Steve, "Wow, she looks exactly like you." Steve replied, "Really?" His sister promptly added, "Oh don't worry, it looks good on her."

We miss you guys already.

Aaron, I talked a bit about this with Vijaj, and I couldn't figure out a way to make that happen. I'll keep researcing though.

Any more thoughts on this, Vijay?

Focus, People. This section of comments is supposed to be about how great Steve is...whoever he may be.

I'm sure Steve (may he live forever) would suggest the following:
1. Create a distribution list.
2. Add the email addresses of the bloggers here to the list.
3. Set the list address as the email address for comment notifications.

Unless someone has an email server laying around, step 1 will take some time to figure out.

Thanks Vijay, let's talk more about this.

anonymous, thanks for getting us back on track.

If you have any great stories about Steve telling stories, tell that story here.

One time Steve told me about a book he really wanted to read but didnt have the time to. It was called Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Church: Understanding a Movement and Its Implications by D. A. Carson. He wondered if anyone else had read it.

This is a distribution list test.
