Three details on a Wed AM

1) As she fell asleep last night, Bella was telling me about her day... she was playing with Jenny (of course) and "We did all KINDs of things. Like, we tested Porcupines." I asked for details: "We put our hands down on the porcupine, and then we brought it back up... and looked to see if any spines came up!"

I don't believe that we actually had a porcupine available for testing... but it's nice to know that if one shows up, she has a battery of experiments at the ready.

2) No gig on the 21st. Apparently it's a small stage and Thomas is unwilling to give up his "ring of synths" for a full warm up band. But the thought is now free and out there, and there's nothing keeping us from making this happen in the future!

3) I had a very surreal online chat last night with Paul S: We were play acting an infomercial. The product on offer was a web-enabled chicken roaster with e-banking functionality - the Chickenbankweb. No money needed, we've already put one in every house in america. Just go to your downstairs bathroom - in the toilet tank you'll find a gold key. This opens the door you've never noticed before behind the toy chest. Bring provisions for a 10 day journey (hard tack, livestock).... It just kept going. Paul was playing the part of the over-the-hill TV personality feeding questions to me, the inventor.

The strange thing is, this morning - there it was, the Chickenbankweb... on my counter.
