This is just a goofy post that I expect some of you will find amusing, and if you don’t, well, most of you don’t pay anything for this newsletter anyway, so you get what you pay for, right?
I’m loving this. I didn’t know Ally was short for Allyson. And that Jenn had to be induced 3 months before I did for my daughter Zoe. But it is great to know that kids - even when induced - never show up when we expect them to!
In fact, her name - well, the spelling of it, anyway* - was inspired by this song, which I uploaded to YouTube several years ago accompanied by photos of the kiddo.
*I can't say that we hadn't considered the name already, thanks to Elvis Costello at the very least, but the combination of this spelling and the love Jenn and I had for this song was what ultimately sold us on the name for perpetuity.
