A FORTHCOMING PUBLICATION

Although it's not new news around the VanderMeer household, the appearance of the ultra-sound seems to warrant an official announcement: Erin and her fiance John Gustat (pictured above) are going to have a baby! Around Thanksgiving. I'm, er, gonna be a granddad of sorts. I think I'll have to develop more gray in my hair before then. They're 90% sure it's a boy.

Congrats to them both!
