Beyond the announcement of his birth, I still haven’t given you my complete perspective on the experience of bringing Baby LFM into the world, but that day will come.

The picture above explains the reason for my absence of late – Viktor Ryszard Lawrence Whynacht was born to Mrs. LFM and me at 02:10 Atlantic Daylight Time on 3 September 2013 – miraculously at almost exactly the same time and on the same date on which, in 2001, I grabbed his perfect Mother, pushed […]

26 years ago today, at the Grace Maternity Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Mother LFM (Izabella) gave birth to Mrs. LFM’s sister Dorothy (AKA Sister LFM).
