I love the wind and the rain; and I love chocolate and cinnamon buns. But too much of a good thing is too much, excessive, over-done, a lot of plenty, etc., etc.. I heard that twins have been born to Deanna and Peter; moreover I am given to understand that the boy is named Thomas. I'd like to congratulate the parents on having the good sense to use such a manly name. The baby girl's name is Elizabeth; and I do have a fondness for that name, too, even though I do not utilize the name. Thomas the baby: what an outstanding name to grow up with and to grow into. Arrrgggh! Gabe and Amy had a boy with a fine name, too: Owen. What is especially cool about the Little O-man's name is the pronounciation of the initials of his three given or Christian names: O + P + E or 'Oppie'; as, for instance, in the little kid played by Ron Howard on the old Andy Griffith Show. Owen is one of my favourite names. In fact, if Ramone and I were to have a divinely sent accident in the form of another male baby, we'd probably name him Henry Owen Thomas; and yes he'd be one HOT! baby I am sure!
Congratulations to Amy, Gabe, Peter and Deanna on the recent arrivals. May you be given the strength, honour and wisdom to raise them well!
I sure do hope to see some sunshine soon.

we actually considered thomas for christian, but then decided we knew too many thomas's. (about 3, i think).
but it is a fine name.
were you known as tommy when you were a kid?
hehe, gar nichts.
just about everyone who knows me calls me thomas, at home or at work. some fly fishing guys call me tom, but never tommy. i don't mind tom, but i have grown to prefer thomas because that's what ramone prefers...but i dislike the boyish tommy as i don't think it suits me.
when i was younger my nickname was never a contraction of thomas, for it was based on my very cool surname:) i was the_wildman, which, if you think about it is a lot like being called 'the_manly_man'. so i had nothing but a groovy surname and ultra-cool given names:)
What does "Thomas" mean?
yeah, I look forwad to sunshine too.
in other news, don't miss the bag of ultra cool books I left for luke on your door handle, front door.
hatchet etc.
stacoy:
thomas means 'twin' or 'dual'; as, a euphemism for having a 'likeness to the divine'.
also it is a euphemism for a 'manly dude'; which is rather apropos, if you think about it! :p
davido:
thanks, luke will be pleased.
thomas, i think i may need a tutorial on the word cloud thingy. i tried it, after seeing yours (not ramona's...ramona's was actually undectable to my eye for some time).
yeah, so we'll see what comes up... but so far, nada!
