I have a brother-in-law with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of all things sciencey which makes up for his suspect taste in music -- my sister tolerates both. He made the wonderful remark to Beth during his wedding speech that she was the hydrogen that made him helium. As unclehood looms, I'd like to propose a name for the baby: Lithium. I think it works for girl or boy. Later on, Beryllium is not so bad either - although after that Boron might be a little unfortunate...

I think you made a typo, superb not suspect!! Hope Spain is treating you well. Seeing the Obstetrician today, only 8 weeks to go. Your niece or nephew is really looking forward to meeting you at Christmas time, we will give Lithium some thought, but i don't like the chances. I was thinking Agamemnon for a boy or Gertrude for a girl. I haven't convinced your sister though. Hope you are having fun and enjoying the Spanish weather! Looking forward to catching up later this year. PS, you think maybe you can talk some people into building one of them machine thingies you work with here in Melbourne? From Tolerant Hydrogen and Helium with Suspect taste in Music!!!

I guess both Agamemnon and Gertrude are better than Keith or Keithette. I guess, in a sense, Keith Urban is kind of cool. Which reminds me - perhaps I misplaced your Keith CD last time I was over....

Would you believe it took me about 3 days to find. I looked in the fridge at least 5 times a day and did not see it. You should see your sister. She is huge!! All seems to be going well according to the Obstetrician, which is good. We will try to send you some photos. Have a good one.
