OK – this is cool…weird and disturbing, but cool.
Stephen King Fan publishes Jack Torrance’s novel (The Shining).
The author (Phil Buehler) actually took the few pages shown in the movie, and typed them up, and then typed up 70 more pages of “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” – paying specific atention [...]

“We” ARE the Office of the president
Posted in Uncategorized on January 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve always know the office of President of the US was not for me. All those big decisions, all that doublespeak, all the publicity, and having to be careful what you say, and all the WORK – YUCK. Sure, you get the White House kitchens, you get to travel in Airforce 1, and you get [...]

Ok, in contrast with yersterday’s post, todays is a tearjerker. My Father’s brother’s, 2nd wife’s son’s wife died of cancer* this past week, and my stepmother sent us a blog link where Jake (my uncle’s stepson – now that was easier) chronicled her fight, and last days.
The writing is very real, and I challenge you [...]

Now I just need to SHOP, and WRAP, and COOK, and CLEAN, and DECORATE, and DO CARDs, and VISIT, and, and, and, and….

My dad and I don’t always see eye to eye and we’ve had some pretty tense times over the years, but he’s my dad and I love him.
He’s been pretty ill off and on all year (he has never liked Drs and he’s been seeing them and hospitals a LOT) and I’m worried about [...]

I got this in my e-mail from Ed. I think it is a great idea!
Instead of (in addition to?) us all sending around emails about how horrible she is, let’s all make a donation to Planned Parenthood. In Sarah Palin’s name. And here’s the good part: when you make a donation to PP in her name, [...]
