Sunshine Superwoman

Note to self: When you go out to take pics of that magnificent sunrise, put on snow boots first. It’s one thing to trudge through the snow drifts in your jammies and robe but DAMN that snow’s cold when it plops into your slippers.

This, THIS is why I go through a pair of slippers a year.

But it's worth it.

The Incipient Baby Girl Grant

The Green Miles and his lovely wife Bethanie are expecting their first sprog in March. They’re registered at a local baby emporium (baby registries -- who knew?) which is grand but, sheesh, what to get? What’s most needed? What to do? What to do? (one of my fav expressions to sign)

So I asked.

Miles was able to rule out the:

hand-crafted baby turtleneck sweaters crafted from golden lion tamarin fur & dyed with the saliva of endangered orangutans.

OK then, I’ll cross that off the list.

Wonder if the kid'll need a diamond encrusted iPhone. Nah, that can wait until she's a teen. Of course, by that time, cell phones will be utterly passe like corsets, Wurlizter jukeboxes and transistor radios. Nope, folks'll all be communicating telepathically or, for those who can't manage it, there will be Combadges like on Star Trek.

Hi, my name is Donna and I'm an unrepentant, insufferable geek.
