Happy 4th

I hope those of you with the day off are enjoying it. I'm working today in order to continue to stockpile my "paternity leave".

Thanks for all your comments on blog boy. It brought a tear to my eye to see that 10 comments were made on one post. That's a record, I think. Rome wasn't built in a day. (America, however was built on July 4, 1776).

I have decided to go with Undaling. I liked a lot of the suggestions, and I will solicit your help again in a few short months for Mrs. Undaground's birthday present. Undagroundling was a close second. I looked up groundling in the dictionary just to be sure and it said, "a person with uncultivated tastes." My child hasn't been born yet, and we know he likes artichokes and the John Mayer Trio, so I had to skip that one. It seems he's already cultivating his tastes.

"Undaling" was suggested by my mother. Kudos, mom. You win. You have won a 7-day, six-night stay in South Florida, preferably in late October, for poolside banana-kahlua coladas and nap-relief for Undaground parents. Oh, and we don't actually have a guest room anymore, but we have really big Alice-in-Wonderland-style couches and a vellux blanket with your name on it.
