One Hand Clapping, Etc.
Before she fell asleep last night, I heard Risa whisper (ever notice that when kids whisper it's as loud as when they talk?) to the spousal unit, "I just have one question. Does life really exist?"
I had to ask her to repeat the question to be sure I had heard it right. After she repeat herself i said, "you mean like a dream?" and she said "Exactly!" I asked her if she could smell her freshly shampooed hair or feel me pinch her arm in her dream and she simply said "i guess life is not a dream."
I thought we weren't supposed to learn that one until college or something.
Huh? Wha? Oh, sorry. I was too busy being distracted by my new PowerBook G4 (with Tiger!!), a Mother's Day gift from the world's most excellent spousal unit.
Back to the topic at hand...these difficult-to-answer questions are coming fast and furious. Even something like last night's, "Mom, why do they call this 'salad'?" is throwing me for a loop-de-loop.
She's just spooky, that one. It's all part of her considerable charm. Glad to hear you're loving the new laptop. I want to check out the whole "Tiger" thang... need to figure out if I should upgrade.

she's quite the existential one, isn't she?

I've often thought we were all leggo people.
Sometimes I can't really believe the way people behave and I wish it was only a very bad dream.

Help.
Well, my wealthy grandson (5 weeks old) gave me a gift certificate to Macys.
A Powerbook G4 is pretty terrific!
