I found an article today that mentions that my great-grandfather's first cousin was marginally involved in the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case. (After Bruno Hauptman had been sentenced to death, this other guy, Paul Wendel, confessed to having been the real kidnapper. He then denied it and said that he'd been kidnapped and beaten up until he confessed. Anyway, it seems that nobody ever really believed that this guy had done it. My relative testified at the trial that he had seen Wendel with a crying baby the night of the kidnapping.)
Anyway. I googled for a bit more information about the Wendel case. I discovered that the internet is just full of conspiracy theories about the Lindbergh case. (Very few of the internet people seem to believe that Wendel did it, either. But they don't think that Hauptmann did.)
I can't sleep. Do any of you know where I put my copy of Terry Pratchett's "Making Money?" I can't find it because I took the dust cover off and now it's a very unassuming reassuringly thick black book. Of which I have more than one.
It's in that pile by the bookcase.
...Or not.
I read something recently that said children's brains can't really grasp the concept of "the future" until around 3 years old. And even then, their ability to predict the results of their actions is pretty shaky. (Hell, it's shaky for adults.)
I'm having a little trouble grasping my immediate future at the moment, because it involves going out there in the cold while it's still dark. This is not my normal morning. Hence the grasping issues.
OK, here I go...
Hey Good Luck and Congratulations Liese!!
Thanks for the link to the Chasez interview snippet. He really does come off as a class act, no doubt in part to the great parenting he got.
It's 16F this morning, so the getting dressed and leaving part of the morning must commence post-haste, but still I linger....
I'm ready to vote that we hold the next F2F at Liese's. :-)

Pre-party at Liese's. Then we move onto Tim's new house!
This big huge problem/issue/disaster at work is stressing me out.
sorry sarameg - I knew that... I was just being my usual sarcastic self. I'm in code/dbase nightmare phase about 20% of the time (because SOME people had to have certain permissions APA), although probably small-time compared to what you're dealing with. I'm completely rooting for everything to work out ok and for the worries to leave you alone because it was Not Your Fault, you were just the one who happened to be smart enough to discover it (and the one who worries and so is prepared to understand what she is seeing when she discovers it).
Yay Liese! Congratulations and no last minute problems ~ma!
I'm loving the parenting discussion. My sprog, let me show you her "Your not my best friend anymore!" phase.
