Tobias Michael Craft-Mathis was born at 1:08 a.m. Sunday Aug. 31st.
Yes, you may call him "Toby." I'll probably stick to Tobias as a rule. Though my preferred shortening will probably be "Tobe."
And he's already got an attitude. He popped out early in the morning, looked at me and said: "What's the latest news on the election?"
"McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate," I said, pleased the son was so quickly taking after his old man.
Tobias looked confused. "What's a sarahpalin?" he asked.
"Well, she's governor of Alaska. Twenty months ago, she was mayor of a town of 9,000 people. Now McCain wants her a heartbeat away from the presidency."
Whereupon my boy, ever so perceptive, made this face:
Mom and baby are doing fine, and doing a better job than than I am of ignoring politics.

Congratulations! My Tobe says to tell your Tobe that's a fine name he's got.
Tobe? You'd saddle him with a name that rhymes with Job?
Toby is warmer. Toby is the guy who helps you with the flat. Just saying.
