@ turbo; Pics of your niece please :)
She is a skinny, bony little thing (think Kate Middleton) with a 3-year old daughter. I have no current pictures, but she is the type that would show up at the family camp on a jet-ski and pull a few donuts in front of the dock before tying up.

Edit: She works in telecommunications (shades of Evo) and recently turned down a lucrative job-offer related to an auto-dialing project that she felt to be intrusive and "just wrong" (her words).
