Turn Around Bright Eyes

Daily migraine report: None today, thank you! I'll take it and breathe EASY. I had it all night and woke often. I think I kept waking Graham up. It was one of those nights, we'd wake up face to face and greet each other: "Hey there." "You're the best." "No you are." and then we'd go back to sleep.

I'd like to welcome to the world MATEO LANGDON SANGER! My childhood friend Tonya just sent word of his arrival into the world on November 7. While she is not my first friend from childhood to have a baby, I can't help but feel all teary when I think of the girl in sixth grade who wore tight striped jeans on her skinny legs and sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on the way home from school. She maintained that tragic song totally described her relationship with Roger Carsner, a boy in our class, who was a foot shorter than her, and whom she had "gone with" for 5 days. He broke up with her by the sandbox. Mateo, your mother was a good actress in all the school plays, and she HATED the smell of peanutbutter on someone's breath. She was my first friend whom I could share tragic romantic yearnings with and now she's a MOTHER. I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Tonya and Bill and to Mateo. May you be a very happy family indeed. Mateo, call me if you want any info (a.k.a dirt) on your momma--I have an incredible memory and can give you LOTS of stories! Until then, WELCOME TO THE WORLD!
