... babies. Speaking of which, my fabulous cousin Helen got knocked up around the time of the wedding. Yipee! I look forward to influencing the child just as Helen did me. Mwah-ha-ha-hahaaa. The rest of you all -who I love in a similarly sappy way- are going to have to get synopsized though, cus I am getting blogged out. New York was great. Just moseyed about soaking up the crazy people.
