I couldn’t decide what to post about Veteran’s Day because every time I think about the way this Administration treats our troops I fear I’m going to have a complete and final break from reality. Selfish, yes. I come from a military family and that’s just the way it’s going to be, so live with it. The best I can do is post a link to this thought-provoking New York Times piece from last month, “At an Army School for Officers, Blunt Talk About Iraq.”

Should I be worried?
My mom left me a voicemail. It was garbled static except for one phrase, which came through loud and clear: “cat enema.”
Law of the Universe #16
Many weird things happen to me, for I am a powerful Freak Magnet. But my magnetism is by and large limited to people. Faith’s magnetism is far mightier. It is one of the known Laws of the Universe that no matter how strange my life gets, Faith’s will always be stranger.
Apparently, her magnetism also includes weird accidents in any and all modes of transportation. Most recently, she was on a train that hit a cow. Trains do indeed hit cows, but the odds of someone who rarely leaves Manhattan being on a train that hits a cow would seem to be pretty slim. Unless that person is Faith.
Happy Loungebunny Day!
Happy Birthday, Loungebunny!
NaNoWriMo
For the last few years all of my writing has been set in Florida, but almost of my actual writing has been getting done in Virginia. This time, my [tag]NaNoWriMo[/tag] Novel (which would be a NaNoWriMoNo) is set in Virginia. And I’m going to be writing most of it in la Florida. Perhaps like last year I should overachieve and write two, setting the Virginia one aside while I’m there to write one set in Florida. Since I haven’t written a word since the 1st day, I’m not sure I see that happening. The odds are better that I’ll see the [tag]Virgin Mary on my toast[/tag]. In fact, you can take those odds to the bank.
