James is into the game!

Thursday

Wonder what James is doing right now? Sleeping? Eating? Playing? One of those anyway. I miss that boy when I'm at work. He is my favorite!

Buzzworthy.....I still like Das Racist.

Check out the NEW edited video with the "homage" to Michael's 1991 "Black or White" video.

I still can't figure out why I like them so much.

If it keeps raining we'll be under water

This is not a weather report. Or maybe it is. Or maybe it's just a Lynette report. Anyways, it's late and I'm up with James and it's still raining. Amazing! While the rain is coming down, let's pass the time with a few thoughts:

• I love Jason.
• I love baby James. He's 14 weeks old today. That's 3 months and 7 days. Yay!
• I saw Jean Claude today.
(guess I should explain the last bullet point)

So, a long time ago- I discovered there is a deer who lives on a small strip of land between Van Dorn street and 395. I may have mentioned it before. I call him Jean Claude...as in Jean Claude Van Dorn. Anyway, the first time i saw the deer, it was a cold wintery day. And that was a few years back. Gosh I cant remember how long ago but i do recall Jason was sure it was a part of my imagination - since then he too has seen the deer, proving I didn't make it up!

So, this deer- i keep seeing it on my way home from work. Sometimes months will go by without a sighting and then- there he is. And just when it seems i have given up hope- he appears. Almost like a good luck sign.

So, tonight- imagine my response when gasp! - there he was -Jean Claude! The last time I saw him was a little over half way through my pregnancy so I was shocked to see him standing there on the fenceline. I started doing the math. Does this mean he survived the earthquake? Yep...although I thought he might have found higher ground. The hurricane? Yes, he did. And 100+ degree heat this summer? Right again. I was so happy to see he was still around!

I wonder how many other people know he is there? You can look for him if you want...if you are on Van Dorn street between Taney and Braddock - look to the strip of land between you and 395 and if you see him, wave "hi". Ahh, The Adventures Of Jean Claude. It could be a good children's book. Here are a few storyline ideas
• Jean Claude eats a sandwich. (it's true, one day I witnessed a man throw a sandwich over the fence.)
• Jean Claude builds a raft. If it keeps raining on the east coast we'll be under water. (the rain part is true)
• Jean Claude makes s'mores. (ok, you get the idea)

I think the rain finally stopped. James is asleep. Goodnight rain. Goodnight James.

Goodnight Jean Claude.
