I’m getting a new doll! She is an Angelica Eve. I haven’t decided on a name yet. The baptisimal moment, both necessary and a priori according to Kripke, is almost as exciting as getting the doll itself. Some programmers say that they can’t start work on a project until they give it an agreeable name. There’s something about naming that I enjoy. Naming, in and of itself, isn’t about discovery, like Kripke’s intuitions show, rather naming is like putting a hook or a piece of Velcro on an object, so that the object can be referenced. I guess naming satisfies my need to organize and tiddy things, albeit word things. Anyways, enough about naming… I want to name her something with two names and more than 4 syllables.

I went to Inman Perk this weekend with Linda. We got a ton of great advice from Christy Petterson of ICE regarding putting on a large event. Maybe one day we will get to return the favor or pay the favor forward.

Here are our girls chillin’ literally outside in the snow.

Linda took the following beautiful photo. I am holding the top of Blanches head like a place kicker – that’s what Linda says. So, if you haven’t tried this method for photographing your doll, make sure to try Linda’s place kicker method! Ah, yet another name is given. :-)
