Newborn Baby in Australia Endorses Waylon County?

Our ol' buddy Honza, with the help of his girlfriend Lucka, had a baby last Tuesday. Although we had been in contact with Honza, who now lives in Australia, he had kept all of that baby business quiet. Over the holidays when we Skyped (with Honza talking to us from his yard with crazy-sounding birds in the background), he never mentioned a word. So the arrival of Baby Mikulas came as quite a surprise to us.

To provide a little background, Honza and I played together in a blues-rock band in Europe for a few years, and he spent a month with us in Texas a while back. While Honza was in Texas, we visited the Alamo, Luckenbach, Palo Duro Canyon, the Grassy Knoll, and lots of other interesting places. Honza came to love Texas, and his visit is chronicled in a Dallas Morning News piece.

This week Honza sent us pictures of the sweet baby. Mommy and Baby pictures. Baby and Daddy pictures. All of that good stuff. And then he added a random one.  A Baby and Waylon County picture. Apparently he (Honza, not the baby) had been reading it at the hospital. Considering that the baby is asleep, I don't think that I can call this an endorsement, but I find it amusing nonetheless.

Congratulations to Honza and Lucka on the birth of their brand new baby boy! Hurray for Baby Mikulas!
