…And the non-in utero name of our new baby girl is Sasha Rayden Jay Thompson Hammond (there’s no limit on middle names, is there?). She was born weighing 7lbs, 8 oz. and was 20 inches long.

One Volunteer’s Inventory of the Sask NDP Leadership Race

I could re-write but really like that opening about “pre-emptive nostalgia” so wanted to keep it. Given what I’m writing about and how I ended it, I thought it fitting to […]
