They're calling him Jack? We both have nephews named Jack. We have such much in common! Like the fact that we both lived with John Rommel.

We had a friend who made us a mixed cd when Helena was born. We still sing her songs from it. It's really special, nice to have a soundtrack for those emotions.

Good onya.

We also both have an affinity for M&M sweatshirts and nasty tables found in Dumpsters. That, and constipated chinchillas.
