I knew you would have a good MJ memory. As I said in my last post over on t&c, I was in Illinois visiting my parents when he died, and all my parents' friends were gnashing their teeth about how there was too much media coverage and how he was a freak whose death didn't even deserve a 3rd-page mention, and I was mad. But I didn't bring it up, because it's just best not to argue with midwesterners in their 60's. The generational and socio-political chasm is too deep. If I mentioned, for example, that perhaps they consume too much mainstream media, I would be met with blank stares. So I missed out on a bit of MJ rememberance and I'm glad you provided me with some. As for my part, my dad dubbed The Making of Thriller for us (early piracy) using two VCRS hooked together in some fancy way. My brother an I watched it a lot. We had the piano music for Man in the Mirror. Also, we liked to recreate the video for Beat It. We needed something to represent switchblades, so we cut the ends of travel-size toothbrushes into points. I love it. I knew you would have a good MJ memory.

I think if money were no object, I'd have many children, too. At least 3. Kelly: See! I knew it was a useful piece of trivia! Lucy: ooh! Good question. I shall answer it in the next post!

I totally knew the answer because of you! Lamont was all impressed! Wow---thanks for the learnin' Jenny!

My husband and I spend a ridiculous amount of time discussing Vivian’s poop. The color, consistency (changes with solids, you know!) frequency, blow outs, etc. What has surprised me most about motherhood is that I enjoy it more than I though I would. I never wanted kids until I was over 30 and it’s a good thing too. Because I would have at least 4 or 5 by now if I started earlier! Oh and all the laundry. Sheesh! My laundry has doubled for just one tiny person. No MJ memories. I’m boycotting. Oh yes… the poop! My husband and I spend a ridiculous amount of time discussing Vivian’s poop.
