Don't worry CV, a laundry basket totally works for the first couple of months. I had a friend whose babies slept in a Moses basket.

We did that a lot with Matilda, too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hi, Callaluna! Matilda slept quite snugly and contentedly in her Moses basket, and, when necessary, it was approximately eighty quintillion times more portable than any of those so-called portable playpen/sleeper things.
I knew about Bourdain being an ex-smoker on account of his daughter, but not that he'll be showing up on Gabba. Huzzah!
I wouldn't say I fake it so much as that I don't bring up my atheism. On the one hand, it's fine, because I'd be a right jerk if I went around "I'm an atheist! Did you know I'm an atheist?" on the other, the assumption of theism, particularly of Christianity, can be maddening. It seems sometimes the only way to counter act is is to say, "Uhm. Scuse me, hate to be a bother, but I don't believe."
Heh. I swear I am the mirrorverse version of DJ. I carefully dance around exactly the same conversational eggshells and unspoken assumptions and trying to decide whether it's worth it to say anything or just let it go, but exactly in reverse, all the time here in the Bay Area. I'd suggest we switch places, but I doubt my version of Christianity would sit any better with the folks you're dealing with than your atheism does.
Plus, we've got Fernet, the Castro Theatre, javachik's Meyer lemons, and JenK. So I'm not leaving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Exactly how bad is the traffic over the Golden Gate Bridge, anyway?

Well, actually you'd take the Bay Bridge, not the Golden Gate Bridge....
Maybe the flight is for people who confuse bridges?

It was a starter list, not a comprehensive one. If I fully detail everyone and everything that makes this city so awesome, DJ will throw things at me and hate me.

Although a Moses basket sounds quite cozy and adorable, I do not have a Moses basket, or even a laundry basket. I do, on the other hand, have a very nice cradle, handcrafted for me when I was a baby and lovingly refinished by my dad for use by Miss Luna. I'd really like to make use of it!
What brought JenK to the opposite coast? Something good I hope.

Ya know, BART seemed perfectly nice when I was there. As did fernet and the lovely Bayistas I got to meet, among other delightful San Francisco highlights. Which I may or, more likely, may not get a chance to see again in the next year or three. ::reaches for one of JZ's tissues::
