Playing 'Chicken'
This is what happens when you let a co-worker watch your children...You might have to look carefully at the photo above. At some point (and I'm not exactly sure when or where), someone taught (from left) Olivia, Julia, Emily and Lauren how to wear sweatshirts so they resemble chickens. So that's what you see here.
The photo comes courtesy of Dad's camera-toting co-worker, Julia. She had been planting the seed for some time that she wouldn't mind watching the girls. So a week ago Sunday, we initiated her into the "Wonderful World of YD" and had her supervise them while Dad and Mom went out to dinner.
The great thing is, we came home and the house was still there. The girls were still there - there had been no rushing off to the emergency room while we were gone. All the food was still in the refrigerator and freezer, just as we had left it. Amazing! So Julia is now a full-certified, nationally-accredited babysitter. We welcome her to return anytime.

Uhh? The girls are starting to look alike to me. I thought Julia was Olivia and Olivia was Julia. Cute picture though!

Did you know that there is only one "Weide" entry in Wikipedia? It's Robert B. Weide, probably the most famous Weide there is.
From Wikipedia:
Robert B. Weide (born June 20, 1959) is an American writer, producer, and director, perhaps best known for his documentaries and his work on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Weide's career began with an early passion for the Marx Brothers. In 1978, while taking film production courses at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California, he announced his intention to produce a documentary film on the Marx Brothers. Undeterred about his career plans by repeated rejections of his applications to the USC School of Cinema-Television, he worked on the project on own own time, and with help from Charles H. Joffe got the rights to clips necessary to make the film. The Marx Brothers In a Nutshell was broadcast in 1982 on PBS.
His projects since then include documentaries on
W.C. Fields: Straight Up, which won a 1986 Emmy Award;
Mort Sahl: The Loyal Opposition; and
Lenny Bruce: Swear To Tell the Truth, a 1998 documentary which also won an Emmy and was nominated for an Oscar;
He also wrote and produced the 1996 film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night. With Vonnegut's support, Weide has been chronicling him on film since 1988; a documentary, including footage from 16mm home movies dating back to 1925, is in the works. In parallel, Weide is also working on a film adaptation of The Sirens of Titan.
More recently, Weide is an executive producer and the principal director of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He's been the recipient of repeated Emmy nominations for his work on the show, and won an Emmy in 2003 for one of the episodes from its third season.

Interestingly, Google indicates there are more individuals named Weide in academia than any other profession.
There are no biographic entries for Aube, Begley, or Kouba.
