David Bowie sang about them, and I get major page hits whenever I feature them.

Babies, they make the world go round.

As someone who has worked in a respite care center and driven three nephews batty, there are times where I think about leaving the whole writing thing behind and transitioning to an infant-centric work environment.

Somewhere out there is a place which wants to pay me to hold babies while they (and probably me) take a nap.

Certainly would reduce the number of angst-riddled phone calls I get…

Anyway, until then, take a gander at the photo above and do with the information as you will.

Or take four minutes to appreciate a world where Mr. Bowie serenades his babe.

Wolf softball raffled off gift baskets to raise money. (Susan Farris photo)

Three Coupeville High School athletic teams combined to raise more than $1,700 for the fight against cancer.

Numbers released by the WhidbeyHealth Foundation show the Wolf softball program brought in $663 for the MAC Patient Goodwill Fund with its April 1 Strike Out Cancer game.

That money goes towards quality coffee and comfort items for patients receiving treatment in the hospital’s MAC clinic.

Softball’s successful slugfest follows on the heels of fundraisers run by girls’ soccer and volleyball last fall.

The booters and spikers combined to bring in $1,063 for the Foundation Mastectomy Basket Fund, which is used for post-surgery patient gift baskets.

“The foundation is very grateful to the CHS teams and their dedicated parents for supporting our community and healthcare on Whidbey!” said Foundation Assistant Heather Tenore.
