It's a girl

Greetings The Varsity Letters readers! After a week-long hiatus, I'm back. A lot happened personally over the past week. On Monday, Feb. 2 at 1:45 a.m., just hours after the Steelers' Super Bowl victory, my beautiful wife Erin gave birth to Anna Noel Kovak, a happy, healthy 7 lb. 6 oz. girl.

Being our first child, the past week has been filled with wonder, learning and lots of other stuff.

Over the past week I turned the blog over the co-worker Kevin Jacobsen. As you can see, his side job (we believe Kevin may be an international pimp or the inventor of post-it notes) got in the way. As Stone Cold Steve Austin used to say, "DTA" especially Canon-Mac grads whose last names start with Jacob.

Anyway, I'm back. A little more tired than before but determined to start updating the site on a regular basis as we head straight into the WPIAL basketball playoffs.
