Yesterday, I found out that John, one of my best friends (EVER!), and his wife Denise are having a baby.

"Congratulations," I say to them.

If there's one guy who I think would be an excellent father, it's my pal Johnny. He's one of the most decent and genuine fellers I've ever known.

Knowing that some kid is going to have such great parents makes me smile, nod, and fold my arms in satisfaction.
