Here's a scary little tidbit. Mark just had a kid, who is now about 20 days old or so. So he was lounging around his house, which, by the way is a brand new, just built house. And his wife sees what she thinks is a dustball on the floor, only when she gets close enough, she sees it is actually a scorpion. That is a pretty freaky occurance in Marin, and made more frightening by the news from the pediatrician that a scorpion would kill a baby. Sam who is not a pediatrician but is a pediatric anesthesiolgist and knows about such things, suggested getting a mosquito net around the crib.

So that has them pretty freaked out. Partly from that, plus sleep loss and the general tulmult, Mark hasn't stopped hiccuping for over two days.

Let's see besides that, I think I may have Theo psyched up enough to climb on the burned out farm and attempt to fix it. Hopefully he wont break his neck. But if we pull it off it will be the greatest stunt since we cut down that tree in the lightening storm that almost crushed Hank's house. Hank's dead now, but when he was alive he was pretty cranky.
