Well, we're off to collect our baby from the hospital. I think that's the way it goes? Kate will be annointed with the 'Magic Gel of Inducingness' around 2, and then... well, let's see what happens.
I think George from Blackadder describes my feelings best when he says: "I wouldn't miss this show for anything. I'm as excited as a very excited person who's got a special reason to be excited, sir."
Spot on. See you all in Berlin for coffee and cakes.

Just drumming my fingers on the table...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it Autumn now ? I think Steve n Kate have their seasons a bit mixed up ?
ReplyDeleteThink date of conception, CK. Then it all makes sense.
ReplyDeleteActually my calculations (as the baby is a few days overdue) reject that theory... unless that was the intent and they 'jumped the gun...' (wink)
ReplyDeleteYou might want to recheck your calculations CK, since as far as I know autumn starts on either March 1 or March 21, depending on how you reckon such things...
ReplyDelete(Gee, Apostropher's going to be deleting a lot of these comments, I think.)
Now you have me confused... I think I have it on video somewhere, I'll go and check my tapes...
ReplyDeleteIs it too late to recomend MOKOSH as a good name?
ReplyDeleteit means 'moist' in slavick!
Believe me, the name has more to do with the ideas and associations of winter than with any adherence to a particular point in time.
ReplyDeleteWhether or not she’d been conceived, born, or blessed by the Balinese goddess of plenty in ‘summer’, there would’ve been a match’s chance in the arctic of her being given that name. :-)
George from Blackadder? Is he any relation to this guy?
ReplyDeleteJill: My joints have been feeling all loose, and lately I've been feeling sick a lot. Maybe I'm overtraining; I'm doin' the marathon, like, ten miles a day,
[House looks tired]
Jill: but I can't seem to lose any weight.
Dr. Gregory House: Lift up your arms.
[she does so]
Dr. Gregory House: You have a parasite.
Jill: Like a tapeworm or something?
Dr. Gregory House: Lie back and lift up your sweater.
[she lies back, and still has her hands up]
Dr. Gregory House: You can put your arms down.
Jill: Can you do anything about it?
Dr. Gregory House: Only for about a month or so. After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple of states.
[he starts to ultrasound her abdomen]
Jill: Illegal?
Dr. Gregory House: Don't worry. Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites ...
Jill: Playdates?
Dr. Gregory House: [shows her the ultrasound] It has your eyes.
