pilgrims and others....
I knew this but Jonathan Franen says it succintly:
'.......in the American experiment in self government, an experiment statistically skewed from the outset, because it wasn't the people with the sociable genes who fled the crowed Old World for the new continent; it was the people who didn't get along well with others.'

My strongest memory of being here
Nobody is out there apparently. Have you all gotten trivial and dumb on Facebook? I feel like the woman in WEEDS, this guy she visits in jail, just to be obnoxious asks if she wants to fuck, . She replies, "Well I had a baby two weeks ago, and it would be like throwing a hot-dog down a hallway."
So here is my hot-dog: went to Atlanta with no real ( Read more... ) -

The kids (me, my brother and the twins) had a list of things he wouldn't do. Use the microwave oven was one, fix the tv (which has become unable to change the channel now), Once my sister Nancy called me ( Read more... ) -
new stuff
I have been editing--I took out a lot of stuff, and I have this stuff about our cats left. Lots of cat stuff. So briefly, I am not close to any of my goals and my mom still has my cats. She is letting them go outside and I am worried:
