Happy Anniversary to us

7 years (legal) 18 years (total)
Ain't that a gawddamn kick?

A baby is born

My sister in law had another kid today. A girl. Named Spalding Grey...no wait, Wilder Napalm...no that's not it.
think...
think...
Wÿlder Grëy, that's it.
Apparently 2 hour labor, and natural childbirth (there was some talk of C-Section).
6 pounds 9 ounces 19 inches
Went straight for the boob.
And this makes our Maiya exactly 6 months older than their Wylder.
So that'll be easier to calculate ages and such.
Congratulations Mark and Heidi (and Aidan now has a sister to torment....I mean to love and cherish)

And she shares a birthday with:
Shaggy 2 Dope from the Insane Clown Posse
Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks
Lori Petty
Isaac Mizrahi
Thomas Dolby
e.e. cummings
Joey Travolta
BJ McKay himself Greg Evigan
Cliff Richard
Udo Kier
Harry Anderson from TV's Night Court
Ralph Lauren
and La Monte Young (how cool is that?) amongst others

Letter from Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA)

This is in response to me signing some petition or other to get Tom Delay (R-TX) thrown into the clink.

I see Mr Nunes is being a good Republican and following the party line - Delay did nothing wrong, Ronnie Earle is just playing politics...ad nauseum.
Mr Nunes neglected to mention in the letter that he got 10 large from Delay in campaign financing, and has contributed to his legal defense.
All in a days work, I reckon.
I just don't like politicians.

Apocalypse Mouse

It's never a good sign when the first things you see in the morning are a bunch of decimated mice in the yard. Especially when you realize that there used to be live mice roaming around the yard. I guess it's a good thing we didn't chase off those stray cats that were haunting the joint...
