Amy and I decided to name our baby boy after Edgar Lee Masters my favorite author and poet from Petersburg and Lewistown IL.
I love his style of writing, his themes of the "village" and rural America and his love for Jeffersonian democracy.
I also consider Edgar Lee to be a spiritual brother of mine. Our life stories parallel on many levels.
Amy is foursquare behind me on this. She had the right to veto.
We can't wait to welcome little Edgar into our family this fall!
