i have a new niece today! yay!

welcome to the world! good luck! blessings! and trust your mali goo-goo, you're going to need them. oh, and try not to fall asleep naked or else you'll wake with a mustachioed portrait of eli wallach (ca. the good, the bad and the ugly) scribbled on your bare behind, compliments of your dear old da. whenever he laughs with his face all squinched up, i die a little inside, remembering. some wounds never heal.
