This will be a quick and easy contest. Our daughter Kendal will be delivered by Cesarean section this coming Thursday (1-8-09). Rules are simple: Guess her birth weight in pounds and ounces along with an estimated length in inches. One guess per person please, but of course you may adjust your guess. I will be pretty busy this Thursday, so this contest will close at the end of the big day. I will announce the person who has the closest estimates a day or two later. Here is your clue:  Here is the prize. A few slabs of Royal Savannah Jasper and Mozarkite.  The real winners in this contest is me! John |
