Cloning, Anyone?

If anyone asks, yes, Fio would like to be cloned. Born with a good brain, a gift for languages, and talents in art, music, and literary composition, she would like another chance at making good by proxy.

But she bets she wouldn't be the first one. With positive results from Dolly the sheep up through the Cuartetra 1-6 polo ponies, there's bound to be a rogue scientist somewhere in the world who's cloned himself a couple of humans. Wonder what DNA he used? His own? Hitler's? Take your choice. At least if Fiorella is cloned, you know she'll do her best to be worthy of it.

Eclectic Snippets

Like Dolly, Fiorella's back in town.  Not that she was actually gone, just knocked off the internet till about noon today, which drove her crazy.  No Google news, no e-mail, no blogging.  For someone who calls herself a Luddite, Fio is mighty computer-dependent.

Looking at the pictures Son took of her, Fio realizes she doesn't really look as good as she thinks she does.  But then, she never did.

Between the elections and the Longhorns, Fio's going to retreat into her snail shell for the duration.

What would Fio do without friends?  Tomorrow she's going to have lunch with Joan, and last week she lunched with Sharon.  Last night she wrote a long email to Suzy in England to bring her up to date.  Paula has stood by her for years.  Katie, Janece, and Jane have cheered on her literary aspirations, and Marion even read an early copy of P of BB.  Fio's sure to have left someone important out so please forgive her because she loves you all.
