Why Epimetheus and Pandora?

While discussing of the name of this blog...

Colleen: Well, since you already have the Greek reference, we could name it "Epimetheus and Pandora". They were husband and wife, right?
John: Are you sure you want to be Pandora?
Colleen: I think it may be sort of fitting. I know that I tend to do, um, things.
John: I think Pandora killed Epimetheus.
Colleen: So, like I said, sort of fitting.

Epimetheus and Pandora

A number of my friends have a blog that they use as an outlet for thier random digressions, bitches, and general discussions.  As most of you know, John and I have a blog for Alice (Muffin's Oven and Beyond) and John has his own blog (Epimetheus and his rocks).  I don't like using Alice's blog for any of my personal things because I have become too lazy to enter anyting into her baby book, I need to just print the blog and stuff it in the book.  Also, I thought that since John posts to his own blog so infrequently, we should combine our efforts and have just one blog for the both of us.  It is entirely possible that many, if not most, of the postings will be about eachother.

John's original posting "Why Epimetheus" explains why he had chosen the original title.  When I discovered that Epimetheus's wife was Pandora....well, that just about settled it. 

I asked John about merging the blogs on last Saturday night, our first date night since Alice was born.  The conversation went like this:
Me:  Well, since you already have the Greek reference, we could name it "Epimetheus and Pandora".  They were husband and wife, right?
John:  Are you sure you want to be Pandora?
Me:  I think it may be sort of fitting.  I know that I tend to do, um, things.
John:  I think Pandora killed Epimetheus.
Me: So, like I said, sort of fitting. 
I must tell you here and now....My postings may get pissy and vulgar.  I hope that you will comment share your opinion as often as you wish.  I hope that John posts more often and does not allow me to take this whole thing over as I tend to do.  we'll see...
