I remember taking my stepdaughter out of school for ocmpletely irrational reasons. When I tried to explain that the Twin Towers had been destroyed, she appeared confused. She didn’t know what they were.

These days
No so talkative. Trying to figure out my homework for the summer, from this narrowed down list:
work on comics(writing and drawing)
learn russian
play bass
photography
web work
learning towards comics, though, but learning Russian seems fun.

Notes on news
It’s a slow news day. Things have happened of course. Muslims are burning stuff because of a cartoon. A major feminist, the first noted one, died. Iran says “Screw you”. Lots of people when ferry sank.
These things have been repeating on the cable news for the past 4 or 5 hours, as the news usually does. Seems strange to hear such repetition of the news, these days, where a lot of my news comes from online sources, i.e. information I seek out or pull to me. TV and radio just push news, repeating it so that different people listening at different times can hear. Hence, the whole “Top stories of the hour” idea. But having heard it once or four times, do I need to hear it again? Shouldn’t a person be able to move on, maybe mark a story as read, so that when they view the news again they only get new stories and/or updates to stories? Just keep pulling in the new stuff once you’ve read things, moving ahead to the new news. It’s a big world, how can there be a slow news day? Isn’t there something happening somewhere?
New devices for tv, web, print (digital paper), radio and ANY OTHER METHOD of delivering information should have this ability, a way to mark stuff as already digested. Should also have the ability to set something aside to look at more closely or recieve specific updates on. Or highlight certain keyords or tags.

Ah yes, marriage
…the most noblest of institutions, where you vow to cherish and love and take care of another person and they do the same, for better or worse, till death do you part.
Looks like my wife is skipping past several parts to the end.
Behold, exhibit A, one of the most delicious slices of what the packaging called ham. Uh huh.
Tasty huh?! Lets zoom in for a close up!
Yes, folks, I was served a piece of ham that looks like bread by my wife. Sounds like somebody found my life insurance policy.
