If you were a true Brett aficionado, you would know that the former Miss Maine quit smoking and was public about it on Match Game and now has a one woman show off broadway where she looks better now than then.

If her kid is crazy, I wouldnt blame that on astrology.

Good to know the mantrap thing worked. Better get that divorce in before the kid is old enough to know whats happening and G-Gash can still mantrap another one.

Hey... It beats being thrown out of school in 4th grade for being a "conduct problem" and having to repeat a year for "immaturity" (according to that fucking psychiatrist). Having that extra year behind me when I repeated fourth grade at another school did wonders...

Vaughn. Thats what I'm naming a boy when I have one. If my sperm works. Which it probably doesn't and shouldn't.

did you have mumps as a child?

I considered taking a photo from her official website instead, but they were all B&W. B&W photography is a classic dodge for people with skin flaws. Contrary to what Paul Simon says, everyone looks better in black and white. And under greasepaint.

Your wife has me booked out for the rest of the year, but maybe in '06, if Brett lives that long.

"Nice and normal" doesn't have to mean common. I also believe in giving names that are recognizable as names, gendered, and don't have funky or alternative spelling. Both my boys have ethnic names with a history of use in the US.

For schools for Magnus, we're hoping to avoid private school if we can, and save that money for college. I'm especially optimistic about a local charter, operating a few years, for the top 1% of students. It's housed at a regular elementary school, and the charter kids and the neighborhood kids do non-academic stuff together.

I don't believe in* private schools unless there is something seriously wrong with the public ones. Our public schools are perfectly good here, so that's where the kids will go.

*Not to say I don't believe they exist, like the Easter Bunny or the Great Pumpkin. I'm pretty sure they do.

The problem (in NYC, anyway) is, while there may be many perfectly good public elementary schools, by the time you get to middle school, there are very few. There are some good public high schools too -- but the middle school years are tough. If you're not in the private school system by middle school, you're hosed -- it's even more difficult to get in than it was in kindergarten. Man, sometimes this city sucks.

The Easter Bunny better exist -- my daughter has already declared that she's going to marry him.

Because then, you see, he'll give her jellybeans and chocolates and candy . . .

I don't believe in public schools. Period. Making it doubly easy in Seattle the public schools are decidely awful (although if I lived in NYC, DC, LA, SF or Chicago, I would be of the same mind based on what I know from having lived in those places or having close friends with school age kids there). Maybe Texas is different.
