The arrival of the first solo album of an artist is always an important event. It remains so until the public decides it is not, by staying away from the stores and then out comes a flop.

Think actors turning singers or celebrities who cannot even sing, recording albums. Such is also the case with band members embarking on a solo career.
Scott and I buy a baby-name book with lots of exotic, Afro-Indian names. Having no better moniker than "It" to call the baby at this point, we’ve jokingly started referring to her/him as Rajni (an Indian girl’s name) or Okechuku (an African boy’s name). Now my sister’s afraid the names might stick.
