2501

Slept fairly well last night--I don't recall getting up but I think I did. I think I dreamed some--but it was a mishmash of TV episodes and SciFi stories. Mixed in was the search for a name for the coming grandkid--I had been scouring the Internet for possible names.

Tomorrow we're going to dinner--and one of the activities will be picking possible names. They have already got a signed ultrasound image with the sex identified--but no one knows the gender yet. Tomorrow, we'll enter our names into the blue and pink containers--and all will be revealed. We will know the gender--and what names we've suggested.

My names are Aelita and Winslow--both names that have histories. Aelita is the name of a book by Tolstoy with a subtitle "Or the Decline of Mars"--the name also appears in a Russian film "Aelita Queen of Mars". Her name also appears in a series of anime episodes--about a virtual planet where Aelita Hopper resides. Hopper will be the surname of the coming grandkid--amazing what's on the Internet!

Winslow Hopper is a combination of the names of two well-known artists--Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper.

Aelita Hopper and Winslow Hopper scan well--that's my feeling anyway.

I'm off to dance class in just a bit--I'm feeling jittery for some reason. I think it's the shift in the weather--the coolness is triggering some jittering. Dancing should smooth things out--we shall see!
