The Didi-Sprite has been winging her way about the bar enjoying
the conversation, the dancing, the eating, the drinking, and being
amongst her friends once more, when Bertie flaps down from the rafters 
with a message ... and it reads:


Date: Thu, 7 Jan 93 00:12:17 -0500
From: Michael B Garrett -- Chudys <darkshot@rock.concert.net>

Didi- please send my best to all these people for me- I am too busy to
responds as I should. When you know the reason, I think you'll understand:

Tadeusz Michael Garrett - born 6:20pm Eastern, January 6, 1993
Weight: 8 lbs, 6oz - Length: 21 inches

I just got home a minute ago- my wife is staying a few days since it was
a Caesarean delivery. 

Do please send best wishes to those you mentioned- and tell them about it.

Thank you, Didi. Many hugs-

'Shot

The Water-Sprite's mouth falls open; she tries to articulate, but
one of those very rare moments of speechlessness follows.  Finally,

erupts from her throat and the moment is past.

"Darkshot!  How wonderful!  I am so excited and happy for you and your
wife!  Come on everyone!  Let's drink to this tiny new Life.

		"Darling Tadeusz Michael Garret!
		Welcome to Life!  May you live long,
		and well.  Blessed Be!"

Then, Didi removes her wand from her sleeve, waves it once and offers
a crystal ...

with rainbow wings as a gift.  

"You can hang it over his crib.  It attracts the faeries, you see.
They will come and sing him lullabyes and tell him happy little
stories!"

("By the way, Rowan, Darkshot wishes you a very happy birthday!
Now you have someone new to share it with!")
