He’s absolutely beautiful! (more pictures here)

I held hope from the day Megan & Adam announced they were pregnant that “Nublet” (nka Dylan) would pick November 27 to touch our hearts (eventho I never really believed it would actually happen).  Thirty-one years ago, on November 27, 1977 my mom (Dylan’s paternal great-grandmother) passed away - and now, thanks to Dylan, November 27 can forevermore be a day of happy, joyful, thankful thoughts for me.  (Not to not remember my mom, just to put a different spin on the day).

Thanks, Dylan, you rock!

Oh!  Thanks to Megan & Adam, too!  You did good!  Very Very Good!

9-Days!

Just 9 days left until the official due date for Nublet!!  If he is anything like his parents, he will show up just a little earlier than requested (due), with a great big smile and “bells” on! 

The excitement is palpable!

Woo Hoo!

Look here for pictures of Mom & Dad preparing for Nublet’s arrival

Friday I had the extreme pleasure of going to American University (”AU” as it is referred to in the “biz”) School of Law to retrieve some material for work.

AU is where, one of these days, I hope to be able to go to law school.  :)Â
It was like letting a little kid loose in a candy store!

The Color of my Dream?

BLUE:

I was walking the 3/4 mile or so down K St from an appointment back to my office this morning.  Like so many people in DC, I was lost in my own thoughts and tapping away on my Blackberry . . . . not paying any particular attention to my surroundings…

Bad Idea!

Suddenly a kind stranger yelled at me, “Its a GREEN light!”

I looked up, noticing I had taken about 10 steps into a 5 (or 6?) lane roadway, (Connecticut Ave.) full of traffic, about to push forward and squash me like a bug.

Geez!

Needless to say, I backed up as fast as I could, yelled “Thanks” to the nice guy who just saved my life. . .(who was shaking his head, thinking what an idiot he just passed), and I decided maybe I should pay more attention to where I was walking.

Yep. 

Step away from the Blackberry.

Its your civic duty to vote. . .  it maintains the freedom that our forefathers fought for.

AND

If you don’t vote, you are not allowed to complain for the next 4 years.

So GO.  VOTE.  NOW.
