- I’m happy to report that my wife gave birth yesterday to a big healthy boy (9 lb 12 oz). We’re calling him Charley after his grandfather who died last June. Most of the posts for the next two weeks will be written by several guest authors. I suspect that you will enjoy the change of pace. On a similar note: For those of you trying to contact me the past few weeks, I apologize for being nonresponsive. Dennis Crouch
How is Charley doing, Dennis?
precious Congratulations and best wishes to you and your family
Congratulations and best wishes to you and your wife, and very best wishes to Charley.
One of the nicest things about having a family is being reminded through your children of your own childhood – but with a fresh perspective and greater understanding. Enjoy!

‘Enjoy every minute and don’t ever “wish” for the next phase or stage.’ As a mother of two, now both college graduates, I totally agree! Each age has its own charms and its own, uh, challenges. Try to enjoy them all. Best wishes to you, your wife, and, of course, Charley.
As a father twice over and a grandfather twice over, I have but one simple piece of advice. Enjoy every minute and don’t ever “wish” for the next phase or stage. Too many parents just keep thinking, “If we could just get this kid to sleep through the night. If we could just get this kid potty trained. If we could just get this kid to bathe himself. If we could just . . . .” Pretty soon, you’ve “wished” him away and he’s off to college. Enjoy every minute. Take it from someone who’s been there.
Congratulations. Will miss your posts, but glad the reason why is for Charley.
And if some features of Charley are not that attractive you can show them in dotted lines in the pictures.
Dennis,
Mazel Tov, as we say.
When you post pictures of Charley (as any new papa eventually will), your numerous readers will get to observe firsthand a novel, original, nonobvious and ornamental design!
Best to you and your family.
Congratulations, Dennis, that’s great!
Cheers
Joe
Congratulation and best wishes to you and your family, Dennis.
The birth of one’s own child (or a successful adoption) is like a new awakening, a portal to a whole new and exciting way of viewing, experiencing, and enjoying life…learning what is really important in life…
…I will not, however, be offering any “enjoy the vacation” type wishes, as “a new child” and “vacation” have nothing at all to do with each other. 🙂
Please do not hurry back.
We’ll all still be here raking each other over the coals when you get back.

Congrats from me and my new family – You are in for a real treat (as occasionally exhausting as it may be!)
Congratulations!
You’ll find your life has been changed forever, but in a good way.
You should check out the “Ouch Charlie bit me” video on youtube before your kid gets teeth.
Congratulations, and try to sleep nevertheless !
Hi Dennis,
Congratulations to you and the family! I hope that everyone is healthy and well and I wish you all the best!
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your healthy baby boy Crouch and family!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Charley!
Dear Charley,
Welcome to the Miracle of America —
… Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Let us all endeavor to keep it that way.
May you be happy, healthy, live long, prosper and learn to create and invent.
Ideas, Art, Music, Discoveries, Inventions and Creations of all kinds are our most precious commodity and evidence of the Miracle of our lives in this Magical, Mystical place we call the Universe.
Dennis, how do you ever find the time?

Congratulations. That’s the best post I read all year!
Congrats!
Congratulations on the new baby. Charley will truly change your life. My suggestion is to watch all of the “real movies” that you can before Charley gets to the age where he wants to watch too. From that point on, you are in for years of nothing but singing animal movies!
Congrats and enjoy it’s a special time!
Jim
Congratulations on your continuation-in-part Dennis!
Congratulations on your issued continuation.
Congrats DC…
We need good news.
Too many depressing stuff going on, you know…oil price is raising, stock is dropping, comments from E6k are endless….”sight”..
congratulations Dennis!
“Charley Crouch” has a nice ring to it. Has future baseball legend, writer, and/or brain surgeon, or, heaven forfend, patent attorney, written all over him.
Wonderful news, Dennis! May you have a long, happy and fulfilling life, Charley!
Congrats Dennis!
Where’s the pics!!?
Dear Dennis [& Ms. Crouch too],
Congratulations.
I wish the baby, the best of health and wealth.
I am sure he will bring a lot of happiness to you family.
Being the father of a 3 year old boy, I can say the following:
“Baby boys are very troublesome for the first 3 years..
.

After that you resign to FATE.”

Sandeep [GenericIPguy].
Congratulations Mr.Dennis and family
congrats!
Congratulations!
Congrats! Nothing from here on out will be obvious, all will be unique!
Like the name and what a big bundle of JOY!
Welcome to the circus, Charley!
Don’t rush to grow up. By the time you’re ready to take the patent bar exam, the USSCt will be no closer to sorting out obivousness than they were in Hotchkiss, 1850.
(One of the George Carlin lines circulating this week: “Being born into this world is like getting a ticket to a freak show. Being born in the USA is like getting a front row seat.”)
Kudos, Dennis & Co.
Hey Dennis – congratulations. Enjoy the time off.
Congratulations to you and your wife.
Congrats!
Heartfelt congratulations, Dennis!
Congratulations
As M. Samardzija says, “parenthood is awesome”
Enjoy every minute because before you know it, Charley will be off to college and adulthood.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I hope you and your wife get enough sleep to remain sane.
Parenthood is awesome.
Congratulations Dennis and family!
If Charley is your first, then it’s the end of the world as you know it – but in a good way!
Enjoy!
