Baby Leo, one day old

Here he is.

Baby Leo, one day old.

We got to meet him last night on skype, hence the grainy photos but still... such a beautiful, beautiful little boy. He's far far away in Montana so I'm so grateful for even this.

FOX News and Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal

Here's one for the brain drain....

Jon Stewart points out how Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a New Corps co-owner, is the same man FOX News accuses of funding terrorism. You can watch the hilarious, astute revelation of this FOX News circle jerk here.

Prince Alwaleed heads a board of directors meeting attended by
News Corporation executives. (AN photo)

There is a baby!

"There is a baby."

This was the message our very exhausted son-in-law left on our answering machine today.

Happy Birthday Baby!

He was born this evening. I don't know much more than that, just got the call, but it sounds like all's well. So, whew and YAY! More later.

Baby Watch 11, tomorrow's the day.

No more waiting. Tomorrow they will induce labor.

Baby Watch 10, the time has come

The time has come

It is now two weeks past the due date so tomorrow, unless the baby comes today, they are going to induce labor.

Baby Watch 9 or Tumbleweeds to Black Rock

It's that time again so...

Full size here for details.

my G'ville expat friends now living in Mexico showed up the other day. They are like human tumbleweeds...


that blow in from the Sonora Desert enroute to the Black Rock Desert where they do the Hokey Pokey Consortium


then blow back to Mexico. As usual, I'm not attending. I have no interest in hanging out on a wind ravaged desert playa for a week even with The Spectacle. Is that so wrong?


Anyway, September 1 we leave for Florida then Costa Rica, in all for a month and a half. And yes. We are still waiting for Baby.
