Last week, my cousin Anika gave birth to her third child: a little boy whom they have named Darren Smith Busby. He was born last Monday, but I did not receive news of his birth until this morning. There are pictures of him on Anika's blog, and he's adorable! But you must know that the Slacks produce and adopt the cutest offspring. I mean, look at me! *laughs*

I'm playing hooky from orchestra tonight. I get one free absence per semester, and since I haven't used my free absence so far and the semester is coming to a close, I've decided to use it for this occasion. My cousin Rachel has invited me to a concert at the Tabernacle tonight. I'm assuming that her fiance Brad is coming along too. However, I do smell a set-up. I could be wrong, but I'm somewhat suspicious. Well, I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Rachel's standards for my potential dates are probably higher than mine, and heaven knows I have high standards!
