My wife’s fondest colleague is Dr. Kaye. Though they don’t work precisely in the same area of medicine, they both have similarly off-beat personalities. They look a little bit alike, too, in a basic or superficial sort of way. They’re both tall-ish (5′8-5′10″), both have dark hair, and both wear glasses.
A while back, my wife went into work on a Saturday to get some notes there. She was wearing Birkenstocks and a tie-dyed shirt. Dr. Kaye was also there, wearing… a tie-dyed shirt and Birkenstocks. Dr. Kaye’s daughter insisted that a picture be taken.
I tell that story to show this picture, of our little one wearing her first baby gift (From Dr. Kaye, of course):
Her fancy pseudonym is Helena Clancy Truman, but we’ll be calling her “Lain.”


Looks like she’s eating a sandwich, or beatboxing. Seriously though, congrats.

Very nice! I’m pleased for the both of you — and for your daughter, who seems to have blessed with a very decent of parents.
And speaking of blessings, you now have a source of material for future web postings for at least the next twenty years! So congratulations twice!

Thanks all!
Kirk, she has made a mission out of chewing her hands off. Fortunately, she has no teeth.
