Free Service for Expectant Parents

We are very happy for our neighbors who just announced that they will be having a baby in February. Alex is excited but thinks that's a long time to wait. He did offer some advice though. He thinks if the baby is a girl, they should call it Bo. For a boy he suggests Dragon. He thinks that would be cool. I agree. And, he would probably be the only Dragon in his kindergarten class.

Entertaining AND Educational

Alex and I are spending the evening together while Art has a meeting. We had a fine dinner and are watching an educational film on Japanese culture. Okay, really, we drove through McDonald's for a Happy Meal and chicken tenders and now we're watching Godzilla Vs. Mothra. Alex is practicing lip-synching, badly, while trying to decide if Godzilla or Mothra is good or bad. Since Godzilla just took out a large pagoda (or rather a tiny model of a large pagoda), I'm betting he's the bad guy here. The jury's still out on Mothra. Highpoint of our Happy Meals: we had to wait so long for my chicken tenders that they threw in free apple pies. How good can the evening get? OOOH - tiny little tanks trying to shoot Godzilla!
