Name Change Soon
It would be cruel of me to remain as Peter's Dad from now on, and the blog name "Peter's Dad's Update" is so last month. I am not functioning well enough to come up with a new name quite yet, but I am open to suggestions. The only thing that sounds kind of OK right now is "P&E's Papa"...

Well, the easy part is expanding the subtitle to include "first born son and first born daughter.' I'll have to think about the lead but not too nuts about "P&E": too impersonal.
Peter & Lizzie's Grammy said:
As I was falling asleep last night, I let my old Marquette Tribune Copy Editor genes take over. What makes a good title? Think about some good ones: Harry Potter and fill-in-the-blank. J.K. Rowling hit the jackpot with those. WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. You know immediately you're going to read about some really wild goings-on.
Then there's the bad ones. Take. for example, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. "It's about a Shawshank that gets redeemed. It'll win!" (MST3K)
So, I think the best way to re-title your blog, keeping it perfectly clear what it's about, would be to use the old copy editor's trick of. . . wait for it. . . the caret. That's the little "v" symbol that means "insert this stuff there." Adding "& Lizzie's" (preferably handwritten or printed) after "Peter's" and using a caret to insert the new information would be a great line extension of your wonderful blog.
Just sayin'. . . .
