Three quick ones about the next generation (in reverse chronological order):- My beautiful 5-year-old niece (who does not have a blog) called me this morning, out of the blue, and wanted to know if I liked strawberries. I told her that, yes, I did. My sister explained that the topic of conversation had been strawberries all morning long, and my niece was polling everyone she knew about. There had been some controversy, because when I was much much younger I had not liked strawberries because someone had mentioned that they had "hearts". Ugh. Believe me, I have come to realize that was a mistake.
- My incredible 14-year-old newphew (who has his own blog, and why not?) ran for the President's Challenge yesterday. Readers of this space will know that Max has been interested in running for a while now and he and I run together regularly. He told me last night that he ran a 0:9:21 mile, and that it felt good because many in his class were much slower than him. I'm proud of him (although I still think he should have worn his "Run Against Bush" shirt - how could that have not been appropriate?).
- Lastly, my amazing 35-year-old nephew (who does not have a blog - and why not?) has been asking me questions about the new Intel-based MacBook Pro. He's thinking of going back to school for an art degree and is weighing Mac OS vs. Windows for graphic design. (Hint: I'm pro-Mac) I'm proud of him for continuing his education and not being content with the status quo!
That just leaves my 29-year-old nephew (can it be true? That age doesn't seem right - I blame my poor memory). I haven't heard from him or about him lately. But perhaps his brother will chime in with a quick story in the comments...

NEWPHEW UPDATE: Although the thought of using a BLOG for my evil conquest to take over the world in a clever yet very obvious scheme, a little band of superheros have discovered this time-sensitive work. They are frenetic, and too spontaneous for their own good, who might be seen as my children. They delight in 'Playtime' - a menacing manuever toward all my villianous ploys toward world domination. Wrestling 'Daddy' (as I have been dubbed by these small but quick powers of good) comes soon after. Alas, I must regroup, find more minions who can bide me the needed BLOGtime to work on my furthering my evil schemes.
As a sidenote, these do-gooders still believe an Apple is a fruit, and not some electronic notebook-device. I might still have a chance.... Unless they use the ever-powerful McCarmel Suace on one.
So let me end by saying, "Beware the McCarmel Sauce!"

Silly Evil Overlord. You revealed your weakness! I'm almost positive that's on the list of things not to do.
Agreed, mentioning my plans might seem boistious and self-destructive. However to the common man I am not worried about. They are merely pawns to my nefarious and calculating deeds!
[evil laughter here]
The whole point to the BLOG will make me victorious! "VICTORIOUS!" I say! For although these superheros have much energy and enthusiasm, they do not know how to read. Yet.
Did I mention this whole scheme is time-sensitive??
