Solid day of work today.

Got some keeno belated Prezzies today... Young Frankenstein on DVD, Command and Conquer: Renegade and a Nifty Action figure of Worf, for Newt to beat up.

Time for a new universal remote. The old one dropped, and now changing channels is a thing you have to get up to do. Volume and power still works.. but the numeric keypad and channel up and down are dead.

I'm feeling very emotional today... I can feel tears and heavy sighs forming from a song that's playing on the radio. (See music)

I've been thinking what kids with my sweetheart might be like. I think that odds are for beauty, intelligence, and deep feeling. Let's do an average - even out the height.... 5' 10" tall as an adult, probably a tall kid. Beautiful Brown or Blue Eyes... Let's go with Brown/hazel. Blue is a recessive trait... though there's lots of Irish and German in there. Odds slightly higher for a female. Long hair a very high probability, if only of mama and papa braid & brush factor. Thick Copper hair with reddish highlights. Cuddly... will probably prefer laps to chairs. Lots of energy. Inquisitive / Curious/ Probably more than a bit Smart-alec-y, but polite when required. A reader. Healthy as a horse. Mischievous monkey. Will know the words to lots and lots of songs before she can read. Talented.

One can only wonder how accurate or not that'll be. I know in my heart that there'll be lots of love, though, from all sides.

I bet they're all lovely!

I wonde rif hazel is a more likely thing then??

My Zoology prof said eye-color was determined by several genes and therefore difficult to predict...

My mother is the hazel-eyed child of a blue-blue-blue-eyed Norwegian and a "Black Swede" (a small group of Scandinavian oddities with dark hair and eyes). She married a blue-eyed German and begat me (blue eyes) and my sister (who got those blue-blue Norwegian eyes).

The Boy's eyes are lovely grey-green...I wonder what sort of offspring he and I would manage to produce?? (Green-eyed monsters, I'd warrant!)

hmmm.... berry interesting.

My eyes are a sort of dark blue with some grey. I'd be interested in seeing what skin tone that'd pass on, too.. my sweetheart has very beautiful fair skin with freckles. Mine is a more tannable, less freckled.

Do Sasquatches have freckles??

I'm sure any child borne of you and the lovely Mistress Christine would be beautiful both inside and out....(not to mention, a great friend to cats).

Freckle-yeti.. I've got a couple of freckles, hither and thither.

Thank you so much for the kind compliment!

Yay for guys that hope for daughters first! More young women need good fathers (and mothers, of course!). I know you'll be wondeful to her or him no matter how she is.

With the work I'm doing lately (www.misericordia.com), I'm working with children a lot. Sometimes, adults who aren't much more than children. I just love them so much, though, and they make me so happy almost all the time.

Re:

I'd honestly enjoy either/or. :)

I'm delighted that you're doing good works, and that they're making you happy, too!

I went swimming tonight, and the pool was absolutely CROWDED with residents. It was SO much fun! There was lots of ball-playing and splashing, with occasional dragging people gracefully through the water. They've got one of those tall, raining mushroom things in the shallow part of the pool which they turned on. The kids really enjoyed that.

Of course, there was a little "accident" and we had to get out a little early, but they all say "Sh*t Happens", right?

Thanks!
