I'm assuming tinfoil will protect you.

That's what Clovis wants you to believe.

Or maybe Clovis wants you to believe that tinfoil hats won't protect you, so you won't even bother to try.

Clearly, we need Isaac pictures! How's he doing? How big is he?

He's great, although he has also begun to demonstrate that tough little willful streak I picked up on when he was wee. Now I know what people mean about boys! He understands "No!" as well as his sister did at this age, but when we told her "No" she obeyed. He gives me a rakish smile and runs off!

And he's big. I can't remember his exact length, but he is in the 80th percentile for length, and he weighs 23 1/2 pounds to Franny's 26 1/2. He's gonna outweigh her by the time he's two.

Also, email coming to you. And to you Jilli, if you want.

Snakes on a Chicago Nightclub

A special party after the premiere of SoaP....

Also, email coming to you. And to you Jilli, if you want.

Yes. I don't know what it might be about, but I'd love email from you.

Clovis is amused by the notion of tinfoil hats. Of course, I think that's because he's been training his zombie army with candy, and tinfoil hats would just be a larger version of candy wrappers.

It's pictures, Jilli, since I don't trust myself to put together a webpage any time soon.

So the tinfoil hat brigade is just going to look like big Hershey's Kisses with legs? How tempting.

Pretty much, yeah. Which might explain why I keep unexpectedly running out of tinfoil at home ...

the appearance of emaciated weakness to large predators.

I think she's more the appearance of a toothpick for the zebras.

if she gets out alive she'll just ruin some poor wee critter's life by bringing it back as her latest living handbag.

Her pets already bite her. I'm okay with all that.

I guess I could shop in Beverly Hills, but that feels weird.

Why, ita?

I have a shopping aversion at the best of times, and Beverly Hills sets it off something awful.

They just thought that he was expressing his concern and his kinship with the Berliners in their adversity (or in the adversity of their pastries).

Gwyneth Paltrow is a rich white faux-Brit. I am African? Not a cheer-inducing testimonial of anything.

Lillian would make such a perfect Kewpie doll: [link] [link]

All she'd need was to have her hair sticking straight up and little blue wings. I suppose some concessions would have to be made in terms of the Kewpie's perpetually naked state.

Burrell, such cutie heads!

Would that that were just a boy thing...

Timelies all!

Happy Anniversary Rio and Saget!
