French Bab(i)es
So yesterday I heard the stupendous news that my co-conspirator in the Masterpiece of 2002, Manu, is pregnant. She and her boyfriend, Alex, are expecting the newcomer to arrive at some point in late spring/early summer.Manu and I had an ongoing understanding that in the event that one of us should ever have kids, god forbid, we would swap roles as godparents of each other's kids. So I have been asked to be the godparent for a French kid that isn't born yet. Awesome!
There is still a long way to go, but I am stoked! I'm already thinking about how to screw this kid up -- not sure if it is a she or he yet. Already compiling great mix CDs for the little devil.
Birgit and I are invited to Voillans, France -- a village with a population not much larger than my Geography of Europe class -- to partake in the giant party and festivities after the child is born. It will be grand!
I'm stoked. Really fucking stoked! I'm thrilled for Manu, for France, for the world, and for an excuse to get back to France!
