Wow Cory,
It sounds like you had a tough time of it. No Internet Connection, being told that you suck, having someone wishing you kidney stones, and having to watch Dora the explorer. However, you must have done a good job because Molly is sooooo cute. Sometimes I think the guy does not get enough credit for all the hard work and pain that he must endure during the birthing process. Thanks for showing what a guy must endure while the mom gets to lie down and get great drugs. Life is just not fair.
