Down but not Out

Was feeling rather down today. Gloomy weather has set in and it's quite cool. Although I prefer this weather. My doll order from Tonner still has not arrived yet and that worries me. Although the mailman usually doesn't get here until early afternoon. Still.....they should have been here by now. Captain Norrington arrived and he was ordered after this group.
Anyway MFD just called and Don Draper is in! So my spirits have picked up. I will head up there this afternoon to pick him up. Actually I am getting two of DD, the second one is coming from Vogue Collectibles so he should arrive by week's end. Hopefully.
As I mentioned the day is gloomy, thick cloud and not a movement out there. It's so still you could hear a pin drop, as the saying goes.
Think I'll just keep this as a draft entry until later in the day, when I will have a pic of Don for you. Oh and his name won't be Don in Silkendale. It will be Raymond Donald Draper here. Not sure what I am naming the other DD. They will be brothers though. Maybe I'll call him Dean.
Captain Norrington is not happy being named Dean. He may live in the 21st Century but he doesn't want a modern name. So maybe I will change his name to Raymond Dean Norrington. There does that satisfy you?
As most of you know in Dolton I never repeated a name. And that lasted well into 1500 or so dolls. But then I started running out of names. Oh Robert, Bob and Bobby could all be used for different guys (and generations) but then I started using hyphenated names. Sure Billy-Joe was okay and Glendon but some of the names got a bit riduculous. So in the new Dolton with more families I can have duplicates. At least with a surname to go with it I can have 10 Glens, or Roberts, or Raymonds, or Jennifers or whatever. I just have to add the last name all the time. Although it could get confusing in a story.
There will be cross overs between the town (or suburb) of Silkendale and Dolton Proper. The Heights will get swallowed up and become part of Dolton as I have always wanted. Anyway that brings me to Jack Bauer. He was originally a Doltonite but his sister Angelina is a Silkstone. I did move Jack into the Silkstone crowd but he really didn't fit in too well. So I will still keep Angelina and Jack as brother and sister even though they will live in different towns. Maybe they could be steps and have a different parent.
Well it's mid afternoon now and the postman didn't show with my parcel. So I'm off to MFD to pick up Dean Draper hah I mean Raymond. Catch you later.
