I have noticed that the cap is back, with alterations. There appears to be a scarab appliquéd to the bill of the cap. I hope it has something to do with a Mummy movie or sumpin', and not a sign that her parents have become fans of Journey (it can't be the second one; I raised her mommy and auntie to despise Journey, like all right thinking people).

Holy cow, that kid is just too darn cute. I love the sense of wonder, the sense of curiosity and of life that shines through in every photo of her.
You were a good dad! I have a sharp recollection of being at some punk bar in the early 80's - sheesh, not that sharp, I can't recall the band, someone you'd know though...
Anyway, some drunk redneckish type wandered in and started yelling "Journey! Journey!"
His ass got throwed out real fast.
Just please tell me you also reared them in a fashion that they also despise the Carpenters. They have ruined holy matrimony forever.
Damn "We've only just begun" all to hell anyway!
Well, kirkepiscatoid, we let them hear Carpenters songs from a cd we have of various bands doing Carpenter Covers. Sonic Youth's version of Superstar really brings the song's creepy stalker quality to the fore.
Whas a Journey, anyways? Did I miss somethin'?
Bite your tongue Kirkepiscatoid, or the Blessed Karen may smite you!
Decades ago, when Matty Boy and I were in The Wonders of Science, we had a gig at the The Stone in Palo Alto, CA. I think it was a couple of weeks after Karen Carpenter's death. Matty Boy announced that anyone who could name all the literary references in the next song would win our Grand Prize: dinner at Burger King with Karen Carpenter> Lord, I thought they were going to string us up right there, but, dang, we were funny!
It's not a scarab, it's a trilobite which has wings for some reason. It's a reference to one of the comics we read.
Don't worry. I still think Journey is awful music.
