Life In 19x19

I have one piece of awesome news: my wife and I are expecting our second child, a boy, on March 1st. However, between now and then, I have a nursery to get ready, and then a ton of other responsibilities that I need to take care of in the next month and a half.

So with the exception of finishing my game against illluck (that's just manners, you understand), I want you to yell at me if you see me posting.*

I've been thinking that I need to spend less time on the boards, and I've mostly been failing at it. So I'm saying it out loud and asking for help in holding my feet to the fire.

* Ok, I'll check this thread as well.

Good news!

Here’s wishing health to all of you.

And, Hyperpape, I enjoy reading you here

Greetings, Tom

Congratulations! Get some rest when you can! I don't think go is going anywhere, it'll be here when you achieve a child steady-state!

Congrats! I hope all goes well with wife and child.

If you must be elsewhere for a while, it seems fitting that you should name him Tenuki.

Congratulations. The second time is easier than the first in many ways, or so I found.

Congrats, dude!

Congratulations! Enjoy that time as much as you can, you can always get back to Go later!

Congrats! At least I don't (theoretically) need to worry about this for at least a couple years.

Have fun! And enjoy the growing family!

Have you taught the first kid to play Go yet?

Congrats!

Funny that you ask this, Fedya. The day I wrote this post, I played two games against her on the physical board. Per the discussion on the post about kids and go, I tried a little harder to play by the rules. In the first, we played out a little broken ladder one place, with me saying "now they only have one free space" (of course there was other stuff on the board).



Then I can remember part of the second game:

Elliot was born last night, 8 lbs 3 oz. He's healthy, his mom is doing great, and they're both sleeping right now.

Congratulations!

Congrats.

Have you taught him to play go yet?

Congratulations!
