Finley Sophia DiGiovanni arrives in the world

This morning, Cadyn and Alan birthed Finley DiGiovanni, yet another addition to the growing next generation of Harrisons. She is 19 inches long, 6 lbs. 11 oz., with dark wavy hair, and blue eyes (for now); and is perfectly healthy.




She cried once when she first came into the world and has been quiet and content since.


Momma is doing well, although tired - and appears to have the next two days holding court with a large list of family and friends.




Here are the initial pictures - Alan has better ones that will be posted soon.

How powerful is Obama?

Obama is ahead in Wahoe County, Nevada - considered a bellweather county in the presidential race. Another measure of Obama's coattails is the Senate race in Texas. Considered unobtainable, the Democratic challenger is now within striking distance. With the massive African-American vote and immeasurable youth vote, unaccounted in the standard polls - nevermind the lack of cell phones contacts in most polls; there may be upsets across the country. This race is likely to be a bellweather of another kind - that of a huge landslide.
