Congrats Miles! I mean Grandpa.

I think that I like 'Moose' better also.
On a related note my oldest daughter was born on 8/8/88 and weighed 8lbs 8 ozs. No shit. I actually accused the midwife of having a finger on the scale. People in China were having cesareans to give their babies that birth date. Seems that the number "8" means prosperity or something. We just got lucky.
Anyway have fun spoiling him rotten loading him up on caffeine and sugar and sending him back to the new parents.
Karma can be a bitch.

Congrats, Miles!
I'd love to know more about the source of the name Phonex? Very interesting.
Moose is a great nickname!

Congrats, Grandpa Miles! I was kinda liking "Phonex," sounds like he would have a future in telecom.

But at 10 lbs 2 oz, "Moose" is definitely appropriate.

Damn, what are those odds? And belated Congrats to you
Timster.
My kids have no "cool" number game birthdays, but three of my high school buddies (and still goodfriends) children were born on my birthday (same date but obviously not the same year).
And my son was born on one of those kids parents birthday.

Strop, we sent you a pic via e-mail and would appreciate it if you could post it here for us, we just don't seem to have the computer skills necessary. If you don't get the pic let me know and we will work with you on how to make it happen.

It sounds like it.

Probably hung over from baby Erik head-wetting duties.
Congrats Miles. You enjoy your Grandfatherhood-dom. I am looking forward to my turn. Although hopefully that will be a good decade away.
