Lestlie's Baby

(If only she shared the name of an herb... the title of this post would pack a lot more satire).

Lisa Leslie (and husband Michael Lockwood) had a baby girl. Laruen Jolie Lockwood came into the world, weighing 8 pounds 11 ounces, at 4:05 am this morning.

There's nothing more important or self defining... than motherhood. A close second might be the respect you pay those that pass this life, into death, before you.

I have more than a little difficulty celebrating with, let alone, respecting a woman who could fling military salutes and reap such pompous joy over the defeat of an emotionally vacant Houston Comets team, on the night of Kim Perrot's death... yet I pray each day for those that might be touched and transformed by this day's events.

In so doing, I also extend my very best and hearty well wishes to Lisa, her husband and her baby daughter.
