Ginger: Fraternal twins can be the same sex... it just means two eggs instead of one. My friend has fraternal twin girls (one dark, one light -- we tell him that the dark one is the milkman's). But there is no reason to shut down the list for that! *grin* WELCOME BACK! don't you southerners be such strangers! Markus: Have fun at Bumbershoot. And btw, my boss was just in Seattle for a wedding. She said that the mountains were out every day. Bitch. *grin* Me: Aching from many tube rides up in the A-racks. Looking forward to Cibo Matto and Luscious Jackson this week, and Flaming Lips and Sebadoh and Bruce Springsteen in a couple of weeks, and to a much needed 2nd small vaca next week. Elisabeth: Look for me at CM/LJ! Later! I have to go finish the rest of my 126 e-mails (all from 1.5 vacation days... sheesh!) - -Anne P.S. Courtney? Was that you with the dream? Can I annelyze it tomorrow??? Please? Thanks! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 10:04:11 +1000 From: bliss@telstra.easymail.com.au Subject: Oh Baby Baby, now it's the Ben Folds four This appeared in the South Australian Advertiser today. I thought everyone might like to have a read. It is pretty long so apologies if you are not interested!! The front man of American pop band Ben Folds Five and his Adelaide wife, Frally Hynes, have had twins. The first to arrive was Lois Francis, born at 11PM on July 22. His sister, Gracie Scott, was born three hours later giving the twins separate birthdays - and in some astrological charts, different star signs. "It makes sense that they would be different star signs," said the proud mother at the family's Hyde Park home yesterday. "Gracie seems like a Leo because she's really feisty." His father says Louis, a Cancerian, has a much more placid nature. Folds, 32, moved to Adelaide this year after meeting Frally, 27, at a party while on tour last year. The couple married in Adelaide in May. They admitted yesterday they were exhausted after not only caring for the babies but moving from Hyde Park to a larger house in Norwood. "I feel tired, but really lucky," said Frally. Folds was present at the birth. The twins will be raised in Adelaide. "I'll have to get used to my kids having Australian accents," Folds said, laughing. The couple plans to take the twins on tour with the band as much as possible. They also look forward to introducing the babies to Folds' family in North Carolina in the United States. Ben Folds Five will play at Thebarton Theatre on August 26. jodes ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V2 #223 *********************************
