A Blogger Is Born

I dug these up from the archives (read: that trunk of old stuff in my bedroom). Note my dad's boxing influence on my birth announcement, plus the delightful photo of Dad dangling a cigarette over my newborn head(!) (that's TheSlot looking pensive on the left). I see I was born at 12:08 p.m., which may go a long way toward explaining my refusal to wake up before noon!
