September-ish, 1999
Brian is visiting the basement of Carl Ancestral Manor which at the time is located in Minnetonka. We're watching the Vikings attempt to recreate the magic of the 1998 season in a fashion that is insufficiently juggernaut-ish. Randall Cunningham has inexplicably and abruptly lost his mojo and the specter of Jeff George looms large. Karen is nearing the "get this thing out of me" stage of pregnancy.
Brian: "So you're having a girl. What are you going to name her?"
Me, absent-mindedly contemplating a career switch to Mojo Recapture and Rehabilitation: "Alexis."
Brian, doing what all friends of guys do (i.e., cause trouble where previously there was none): "Oooooh. Sexy Lexy."
Me, quite alarmed: "HONEY!! What's next on the name list?!?! Alexis is out!"
