He's here!

Oliver-who-won't-come-out has become just plain old Oliver, a real person. He is not plain at all, though, he's very beautiful... He got here at 5:28 this morning. I can tell you this: one can be intellectually prepared to see a human being slide out of one's sister and still find it an absolutely stunning experience.

I just came home to get a couple of hours of sleep and a shower... I have to leave for New Orleans tomorrow, which kind of sucks.
