The Importance of Absurdity

Yay! My cousin had her baby! Elliot Arrington France. And they're gonna call him Eli. I definitely like Elliot better, but it's not really up to me, eh? Maybe I should come up with a fun nickname for him. Like, Mack. Or Buddy. Or something (Haha, sorry, but I couldn't resist!). My other second cousin (Cathy's stepsister) had a baby a 18 months or so ago and they named him Philip Lee. Lee, of course, being for Robert E. So Cathy started calling Phil "the General". And it's seriously caught on. I don't think anyone calls him that to his face, but he's definitely referred to as "the General". Now that's a fun name!

Oh yeah, and we think Jones is proposing this weekend. First of all, it's a long weekend, so it's easier to go up there. Second, he wasn't at the football game last night. He's been at every possible home football game that we can remember, and there wasn't a soccer game last night. I can't think of much else that would keep him from the game!
