PELICAN BRIEFS

Hey, since when did pelicans get into the act? This wasn't meant to be baby talk day at CF Online, but it's turning out that way. The latest news to drift this way is that Anthony von Mandl of Mission Hill is about to become a father.

The happy new Papa announced this himself at the recent Mission Hill employees' harvest party. Apparently the mother of the child is a homeopathic doctor with whom Mr. von Mandl has been in a close relationship for quite some time.

It may not be what some people expected, but then every empire needs an heir apparent. Or maybe Mr. von Mandl got tired of explaining where the family part was in the Mission Hill Family Estates. Perhaps the right time had just finally come. Regardless, congratulations are in order. Ring those bells, Anthony!
