A message from Miles:
The past two days have been tough.  I won't go into ALL the details, but let's just say that cramming my 14 inch head through a 10 centimeter hole was not the most pleasant way to start the first day on the job.  Despite this (and the constant blinding light, needles, thermometers, etc. - I COULD go on...), I'm getting the hang of things...  So let's dwell on the positive.

First of all, the people here are great!  Everyone wants to hold me and for the most part, I can get whatever I want - my wish is their command (not too shabby)!  I showed off a little for Mommy on my first night and displayed my recently found eating skills.  The food around this place could use a little work, but I still ate like a champ.  Supposedly, they're changing the menu in a few days....  The overall accommodations are about average at our hotel here, but Mommy and Daddy insist that things will improve when we get to someplace called "home."

Well, I should probably cut this short....  I feel a nap coming on.  I may follow it up with a couple dinners.  We'll just see how things go.  In closing, I want to say how great it is to finally be here and I give my sincere thanks to all of my new family, friends, and fans out there who have been rooting for Mommy, Daddy, and me.

Love,
Miles

P.S. Daddy made sure I got lots of photos.  Here's an album of my first two days!

And now to the details of our little name-guessing fun.  First the clues and answers, then we'll get to the some of the guesses.
  • He shares the same first name as a passenger on the Mayflower.
    • Miles/Myles Standish (hired by the Pilgrims to be military captain of Plymouth Colony)
  • He also shares his first name with a successful NFL receiver.
    • Miles Austin (Wide Receiver for the Dallas Cowboys)
  • The middle name is shared with a famous poet's first name.
    • Allen Ginsburg (American poet during the Beat Generation)
  • The middle name is also shared with a famous NBA guard's last name.
    • Ray Allen (Guard for the Boston Celtics)

Here are a few of the guesses we received:
  • Henry James
  • Isaac James
  • Isaac Thomas
  • Miles James
  • Miles Thomas
We can clearly see that some people were thinking of Isaac Bruce and Lebron James.  Maybe James Joyce?

We'll give some credit to Douglas Bowles who correctly guessed the name within about an hour of the blog post.  Kudos, Douglas.

Lastly, Melanie and I want to reiterate Miles' final sentence above.  Thanks to all of our friends and family who have come to see us, called, posted on the blog, texted, posted on Facebook, or thought about us during the past couple days or the past 40+ weeks.  We're so happy to have Miles in our lives and we look forward to sharing him with you (so stay tuned to the blog for more)!
