Brief Update: Arisia and Other Things

[mabfan]

This past weekend, gnomi and I attended the Arisia science fiction convention. We celebrated her upcoming birthday, which is tomorrow, with a party Saturday night in our hotel room that went very nicely. All our guests had a good time.

There was other happiness this weekend. On Friday, January 13, my younger brother and his wife welcomed a baby boy into the world. This is the first male-born Burstein in 34 years, and we're all delighted.

And for now, I'm working today but also feeling sleepy. I have a busy week ahead, so I'm not sure when I'll catch up on sleep; probably this weekend.

What does that sentence mean, exactly? The first male B to be born, or the first one who is currently male who was born as a male?

The first boy baby with the last name Burstein in my family since 1972. There are no F-to-M Bursteins in my immediate family, as far as I know.

Sorry I didn't make it to the party Saturday, though your mother-in-law invited me. Hard to believe I've known her for over 30 years of her life...
