I used to babysit a kid named Nicky who was going through some separation anxiety, and for a few weeks, the only way that I could calm him was to sing Toni Basil's "Oh Mickey" with "Nicky" instead of "Mickey."
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Kat, those shoes are adorable. Glad to hear Noah and Grace are coming along.
I have memories of my mother singing to me when I was very young - the only ones I remember were "The Old Rugged Cross" and one about "sleep Kentucky baby".
And in regard to the Cuba Gooding Cialis ad, did anyone see this?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Mandalay Bay is my favorite hotel and I miss Vegas sooooo much.

Also, I'd give anyone in LA $1000 for them to go to Sprinkles and get me a lemon-coconut cupcake and a black and white cupcake and send them to me here in Michigan.
Any takers?

A friend of mine - who travels a lot - told me once about going to Mandalay Bay and floating down their river in an innertube, drink in hand, just drifting along ... sigh ... I could use something like that.

I can't carry a tune to save my life. I love to sing out loud, but I take pity on other human beings, and do it only when I'm alone, or when the baby in presence is young enough to be able to repress the trauma.

And occasionally, you get out, lie in a chair in the sand by the wave pool and put your little chair flag up and let the server some to you, give you more drinks, and then get back in the river.
Sigh.

By popular demand, I no longer sing in public.

Oh! And on the baby songs, Blackbird was the first song I sang to Em. Yesterday was the one I sang during the middle of the night. And her newest favorites are Rainbow Connection, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Baby Mine.
I've gotten so sick of Baby Mine that I've started doing a Sid Vicious version.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, can you do this Mandalay Bay situation without staying in the hotel? Because that sounds awesome, and this time next week I'll be in Vegas.

Sadly, I don't think so. IIRC, you have to use your key to get into the pool area. As in, show it to the guys manning the desk that hand out the towels.
