Sixty overcast, wet, drizzly degrees at 0800 this morning. I’m not planning any travel this week, but sometimes events change that idea.

Opened the paper over a bowl of steel-cut oats.  Waded past the normal amount of trivial and bright ideas and found that the big hospital across the river reports thirty-four new babies from between February 9 and February 19.  That’s thirty-four new babies, half – seventeen – born to unwed parents, and five new mommies aren’t laying claim to a baby daddy.  Half!  We, folks, are LIVING in the opening scene of Idiocracy.

Let us step off into the abyss:

Stephen M. & Destining(!) H. have a son, Daelyn Amari.

Levi (Named for the jeans, not the Hebrew tribe) & Blythe M. do a son with Roan Austin.

Cory W. & Amber B. start a daughter off with her very first stripper name, Kori Starr.

Tyler & Jillian S. pick a random surname and toss it on their new daughter, giving us little Monroe Diana.

Miss Jessica P. triples up on her daughter Graislyn Merci Serenity.  She plenty of room to write since she didn’t need to use that ‘father’ block on the form.

Christopher & Lacie B. tag a baby boy with Jackson Reese.  Great!  Name the kid after some random dude and a peanut butter cup.

we get our first apostrophe of the week as Michael & Reagan(!) D. tag a daughter with Ryliann Shae’.

Jacob H. & Treasure(!) F. have a daughter, Graisyn Lynn.

Paul & Lisa R. give their son a nudge towards a career with Carter Paul.

Domonique(!) N. apostrophicates her daughter Tai’lan Nicole.

T.J. & Kasie M. show their daughter Kya Lynae.

Matthew & Kari A.  do a son with Cason David.

James B. & Whitney W. name their daughter after fabric, Paisley Louise.  Perhaps we should await a brother, Houndstooth Jack.

And that’s enough for this week.
