My husband bought a GPS. We used it for the first time when we went on our vacation a few weeks ago. My husband asked me to name the GPS system (the female voice in it). His collegue had named the voice Claudia, after the receptionist of their company.
We were driving through our neigbour village when we talked about that. And we drove another way than the GPS suggested. The femal voice continued to say we should drive to the right at the next crossroads. And at the next, and the one after this one, and so on. The female voice just wouldn't shut up.
It was easy then to name it: we now have our own LaShawn ;D.

Yesterday morning, as I was making breakfast, I put on "Spiritual" by Charlie Hayden and Pat Metheny. My daughter was drawing at the table. After a few moments of the music, she got down from the table, picked up her most beloved doll, and stood their holding it to her chest and slowly rocking. She turned it into a little ballet, and then was done.
As you probably know, "Spiritual" is the piece of music that Annie Proulx says she played over and over as she was writing the Dozy Embrace scene.
It felt like a hushed miracle, and I wish you all could have been there.
