babies babies babies!

Well something must have been in the air about a year ago because lately it seems everyone is having babies! Or maybe that's just what people my age do, procreate. I'm not very up on the 'regular way of doing things' since I have been out of that loop for... well, forever. Here is a photo of my friend Eric, his wife, stepson, and new baby boy, Asa Connally Hamiter, a ten pound cutie-pie.

Eric looks so proud and happy! awesome.

In other news, the best boyfriend ever, we can just call him TBBE for short, took me and the boys to see a play at Toby's dinner theater this weekend, the Buddy Holly story. It was really fun! The best parts of the story were about the racial barriers broken both by music itself and by Buddy not giving a rats ass what other people thought. Did you know that Buddy Holly and the Crickets were the first white band to play at the Apollo Theater in Harlem (booked by accident since they 'sounded like a colored band')? And that, while they were practically booed off stage at the beginning, once they started playing, everyone got into it and color became insignificant? He also didn't care about racial and religious barriers when marrying his wife, a hispanic catholic girl named Maria Elena. This was in the 50's! And, while less historically relevant, I really loved the fact that he didn't let anyone change him or his music. He didn't let the music industry mold him into a product. He refused to sell out, not for a record deal, fame, or fortune. Sublime.
