the problem with naps

[flea]

especially much-needed ones, is that feeling that you'll never be fully awake again. Gronk.

In baby name news, Realtor's sons are:
Fear
Owen
Caedmon
Gunnar

Wow! Fear is apparently a Puritan family name, for "Fear of God is the start of all [something or other good]".

Caedmon being the dude what kills himself for Antigone, and Gunnar being the dude that refuses to go into exile from Iceland and is consequently executed by his neighbors, I think this realtor has got some serious name-issues going on.

(I don't know what Owen did that might have led to his death.)

Haemon kills himself for Antigone. Caedmon is a hymn-writing Anglo-Saxon.

They found Gunnar in the credits of a movie, she said.

Haemon, Caedmon, same diff.

Gunnar could be named after Gunnar Nelson! Who had ridiculous rock star hair and a twin brother and played a guitar with two necks! ...really, the original Gunnar is probably a better forbear.

I am afraid that Gunnar Nelson was also my first association with the name. Ah, '80s MTV.

The real problem with naming a kid Fear is there is no end to the teasing. It's not like it'll get less fun to tease him once he's in college and all the bros in his frat are saying "the only thing we have to fear is Fear himself."

"The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom."

Which, I guess, means that this kid will only ever get a little bit wise.

...Owen got seriously lucky in that bunch. FEAR??? Dude. Poor kid. I mean, Caedmon is kinda cool. And Gunnar is only going to make old people think of Gunnar Nelsson, right? (edit: I mean to say, old people like us, as in, not his peer group) But...FEAR???

I work sometimes with a guy named Gunnar. He's actually a really good guy. But then, there are a surprising number of Scandinavians in the PNW. Lots of Gunnars and Oles and Svens. No, really.

I hear you on the napping thing. I am SO not a good napper. I am groggy and cranky like WHOA if I ever get a nap in me. I tend to prefer chilling hard watching TV or reading quietly as opposed to naps, but sometimes the naps just sneak up...
