Baby Due Date 50/50

We were at our rockclimbing gym Christmas party last night and a couple friends were trying to help come up with names. This evolved to them wanting to do a 50/50 draw for the baby so they could guess the birthdate and time...so here goes.

TERMS
1. The cost is $5 per guess (Date & Time of arrival).
2. The "winner" would be the person who gets the closest without going over (like "The Price is Right"), if no one gets that, then the closest person afterwards.
3. You would win half (50%) of all collected funds.

Estimated Due Date: Thursday, February 24, 2005

Guesses
  1. Ken: February 17 2005 8pm
  2. Marty: February 25 2005 4pm (his birthday)
  3. David: February 22 2005 7.35am additional predictions, not included in the wager from David-- girl, 8lb 7oz, Penelope Francine Salmon, Future rugby player, will really like strawberry milkshakes--thanks David!)
  4. Kristin: February 21 2005 4pm
  5. Grandma Jen: February 21 2005 6am
  6. Brent: February 23 2005 11.59pm
If anyone else is interested, email me your guess (date & time) and phone number (so I can contact you if you win) and be prepared to ante up the $5.

Thanks Ken and Marty for all your "great" name ideas and your encouraging support for our baby. Merry Christmas!

we're off to Ontario now, I will probably still blog from there.
peace to all
