La Résurrection

I thought I would put a French title so you would know it was really me. Many times, I have been moved to post but at this point, I thought it would be too weird; like calling an estranged friend or ex for a favor. But when the alternative is catching hell from a once-a-month poster of all people, and I’m looking at you Alex, maybe I just need to suck it up and get back in the swing of things.

In my four month absence, I have move to California, celebrated a new birth (Ryvre Rose) and a birthday of my own, got back into shape, fell out of shape, sold a house, bought a jeep, moved in with a roommate, and partied with Paris Hilton.

I will get into all that in the coming days (re: weeks) and am starting off with the alarming realization that KJ is a mom to a girl by the name of Ryvre Rose, pronounced “river” or if you’re a smartass, “riv-ray” and “reev-ruh” are also acceptable. Obviously, I was a little disappointed with the name selection (Nicole being the only acceptable choice, of course) but it’s grown on me and I should have expected nothing less from her husband, a man who seriously considered the name, "Five" and has himself lived with the name Chadd (two d’s). So Ryvre it is and these people can go to hell, where incidentally there are no RIVERS!!!
