out of the blue news of the day

The first set of programs I wrote and produced are going to be translated into Japanese.

The Secret Service code names for the Obamas were revealed today.

Renegade
Renaissance
Radiance
&
Rosebud

Code names are fun.

And it seems like they give families names that start with the same letter.

I am dubbing my family:

Fletch
Filmmaker
Faith
Freedom
&
Firecracker

So, dear readers, I'm calling you out!
Stop lurking and comment!
What would your Secret Service Code name be?

pink vs. blue

Long ago when E was 3-ish, she and I were playing "Rock, Paper, Scissors."

Instead of putting out her index and middle fingers to give the international symbol for "scissors" she only used her index finger.
I stared at the didget and asked, "What's that?"
She contemplated the finger for a beat, and then replied, "A tulip stem!"

J had the same misfire the other day, and I asked what his lone finger represented.

He quickly replied, "A knife!"

We never established what beat what in terms of either gesture, but I thought it was quite telling from a nature vs. nurture standpoint.
