Gary! long time no comment, but Congrats! Greatest experience God can give you. As the Father of an 8 year old daughter I would give you 1 piece of advice and something to think about. my advice…Time. You will feel the urge to work even harder and travel more as it is natural to feel this way as a provider to the family…. Dont get sucked in. try and limit your travel as much as feasable (I used to travel 60% of my job and now have dropped it to about 10%) and be home… not only for your child, but for yourself… you do not want to miss the important things in life that you will remember far more than any professional accomplishments. I would even consider taking 1 on 1 time often. Send Lizzy away on weekends with her friends to get away (nice break for her)and take advantage of bonding time a couple of days a year… It is totally worth it.

Something to think about … As I am moving back to Hunterdon County from PA, I can’t help but think you might want to get back out to the country from NYC… Granted there is no better place than NYC to live. But to raise kids in a great enviornment with the right influences, out of NYC may be a good choice… Come to think of it, Didnt your dad do that for you (Clinton? P- Burg? from Edison?).. Whats beter than the Flemington fair Cotton candy mixed with a little pig poop smell to bring a family together?

As far as the wines… I totally agree with you on the Don Nicor… HAd it and thought it sucked… Also have the La Cattura per Ian’s recomendation on my last WL trip… excited to try, but based on your notes I will cellar for a while.

Congrats!

Gary, Congrats! You will realize as soon as your child is born that it is far and away the best thing that ever happened to you.

Two quick pieces of advice. Tell your child everyday that you love them, im my opinion you can’t show a you child too much affection. And enjoy every minute, they will grow up so fast.

Awesome news from WL King and Queen. Let’s all pray that there are tiny ear plugs for Little V until she learns to totally block out Mr Thunder. Cheers!

CONGRATS! How very exciting for you all!

Good show as always! CONGRATS on the new baby!

QOTD: BOTH of you read Baby Wise!!!!!! Our kids sleep from 9:30 at night until 9:30 in the morning because of the help this book gave us. Not to mention countless other things it helped with. But as you tell us to trust our own palette, only trust was it right for you and extract what you want from the book.

Best of luck with the new little one!

P.S. Does this mean that we won’t get to meet Lizzy on the TS now?

Congratulations to you and your family! WooHoo! That is big news! Your wife must be bummed about having to refrain from partaking of the nectar of the Gods though. That must be rough! Especially with all the amazing wines you’ve got flowing freely over there in Vaynerworld. So happy for you guys. All the best ~ april
