Congratulations to my cousin Chuck and his wife Heather on the birth of their new son, Benton Ford, today. I’ve congratulated a lot of my friends on the arrival of their children in the past year, but this is the first congratulations I’ve sent as a dad myself. Kind makes me all sappy, ya know?
Anyway, to celebrate I have added both to the family tree. Simon and Benton share the same great-great-grandparents, which I believe makes them third cousins.
