Multidimensional?

Just today, Danny pronounced the word "bell" in this way: "ba-yull." He regularly calls for his sister, "Cla-yer." He was born in the South, after all (though he's not getting his pronunciations from the homefront).

And yet his California roots also reveal themselves from time to time, as they did today when, out of the clear, blue sky, he began to play "surfing."


Then, later, while I was cooking dinner, he pulled up a chair and began playing with corks (never you mind why we have so many corks lying around). Perhaps he will grow up to be like the son from the movie "Bottle Shock," the one who surfs by day and also happens to manage Chateau Montelena. Dude, that would be awesome.

Excuse me: y'all, that would be awesome.
