Sheaness

Today is Shea's birthday.

She has been amusing me for 14 years.

Until the moment she was born, we thought she was a boy, and had named her William Montgomery, after Bill's grandfather. We were going to call her Will.

Instead she came out a girl, which meant that I got to name her.

Her first name is the name of the ranch that my Dad was born on. It's also a palindrome, and that pretty much cinched that deal.

Shea, because Mommy is a baseball fan.

Sorry, kiddo. But at least I didn't name you Progressive.

Or Land Shark.

(Wrigley was considered.)

I love you, pumpkin. Banillion times infinity cubed.
