"Another Post From Yesteryear!" Circa 2006

My niece, Amber, had her baby today. Congratulations are in order. And to "Bone," her enigmatic hubby, as well.

The pregnancy was her second, but this one was difficult, as Amber was on "bedrest" a few moons ago. Due to a miracle, her placenta moved, so she had her l'il one just a coppola weeks shy of the due date.

My sister, the enigmatic Olga, went to Mount Shasta to pray for her daughter's safety. Shortly afterwards, her prayers were answered.

The new arrival is a girl. Daddy Bone badly wanted wanted a boy, but, alas, it wasn't in the [ tarot ] cards. Her name has been determined-as of this writing-and she will be known as "Summer Sky." An old saying comes to mind from back in the day. "Far out!"

What happened to the traditional names like Linda, Charlene, Debbie, Shirley, and Sally? Seems Bone and Amber bypassed the newer hip names like Brittney, Caitlin, Demi, and well, er, uh, Olga by thinking "outside the box." If I had been aware of their wishes for an oddball, er, unusual name, I could have helped out. My suggestions: [ as if anybody asked? ]

1) Winter Solstice

2) Spring Forward

3) Fall Back

4) Autumn Leaves

5) Global Warming

6) Red Sky in Morning Sailors Take Warning

7) Blue Sky at Night Sailors Delight

8) Moon River

9) Summer Solstice

10) International Dateline

11) v.c.
