It’s Hell in Cleveland
When I walk outside these past few days, I’m appreciating the sun on my face. When I think about those three women (and the child) who were trapped in that hell for ten years in Cleveland, it just defies comprehension that their youth was robbed of them in such a monstrous way. Karma isn’t enough, and there is no sentence I can imagine good enough, for that excuse for human life who kidnapped them, beat them, raped them, starved them, shackled them, mind-fucked them, etc. I don’t care if he had a troubled youth himself, he violated people in his life a thousand fold and that is simply beyond outrageous.

Daughter’s Name Change
As much as a Francophile as I am, I’m very glad that my daughter will no longer be Monique. She is changing her middle name to Hayden when she becomes Mrs. Hernandez next month. I think it will flow nicely and what’s fortunate is that she is one of the few women who can probably have a middle name that is suitable as a common name for a woman (and a man). Think of Hayden Panettiere, the actress and dolphin activist. She was very sweet when she brought the subject up because she knows that my niece’s middle name is Hayden, something my sister Sabina did when we feared there would be no more Haydens in our line, but now I have a nephew to rectify that. Alex is also considering giving her kids the middle name Hayden, which fortunately does work for both genders. Monique was just something I thought sounded nice, but Hayden is something more special and personal. I do wish there was some indication that she was Italian in there, but her name is already going to be a mouthful.
