Kayen Manovil
I found out today that my good friends F. & D. are pregnant — well, F. is pregnant, but D. helped. They came up from NYC to announce that, come New Year’s, Kayen Manovil will be born into a bathtub in Argentina, which is pretty awesome, and unbelievable, and awesome.
This is the part where I go off on a diatribe about how quickly life blows through us, how suddenly there are so many weddings or babies or both, or divorces, or other big announcements. F. and I spent a semester in the Netherlands together in 1999, jumping in leaves in Vienna, clubbing in Barcelona, and taking photobooth pictures of ourselves in every train station in Europe. We were babies then. We wore funny clothes and obsessed over boys and generally had no idea what we were doing. I can’t believe she is reproducing! That’s totally amazing! I can’t believe she’s PREGNANT!!!
Ok, I’m done.
