Many mini sock monkeys

Design monkey

Prezzies! My friend and coworker Erica just gave me this.

"This is a very special monkey," she told me. At her previous job, a
reader called to complain that a monkey could design news pages. When
Erica left that job, her coworkers gave her this monkey puppet. He
meows like a cat when you put your hand inside.

Any ideas for names?

Hey, I'm starting a blog with no focus!

I've got the Girl, You Lost Your Weave blog, which is where I post photos of discarded weaves from the mean streets of St. Louis. And I've got the Viral Videos blog on STLtoday.com. And I occasionally contribute to the Culture Club blog on STLtoday.com.

Those blogs are all very specific. This one won't be. I aim for it to be a collection of random musings from my everyday life. Which, I suppose, is a sort of focus.

It's also a place to collect links to my various projects, social-media ventures and professional work.

And the name? It's the title of a song from the brilliant musical "[title of show]." Also, I love monkeys and theater. It all adds up, I figure.
