Today I attended a funeral for a person I never met. I knew her only by the stories others told and by the legacy she left. I wasn’t sure if I should go but ultimately felt that showing up was the right thing to do. I’m glad I did for a bunch of reasons. The biggest reason was one thing I heard said. A story was related by one of the woman’s daughters.

To paraphrase -
Daughter says to mother: I love you.
Mother says to daughter: I love you more.

I got it right away and so did the daughter. No kid can love a parent as much as the parent loves the kid. It’s just not possible, but to know this you have to be a parent.

This went straight to my tear ducts.

I confess to listening to Air America Radio. Not all the time but sometimes. We need something on the radio that pushes back against the right wing nut jobs (you know who they/you are). Some would claim NPRfills that void but I don’t agree. IMHO, NPR is the closest thing we have to fair and balanced here in the US.

What I was getting on about though, was today’s news item that Air America Radio is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. I am disappointment but I have a glimmer of hope as they seek new financing. I rather doubt Walmart will be signing up as a sponsor.

I hope.

I activated Akismet in hopes of getting rid of the comment spam I’ve been assaulted with of late. I hope it works. If you’re one of the rare real people who comment, you may discover a service interruption.

That’s it. It’s time to quit the day job and buy the mansion on the moon. I have the the sure fire get rich quick scheme. Can’t fail. This is it. Deep breath everybody:

Oh yes. Toxoplasma gondii Tea. Scientific studies show that toxoplasma gondii significantly increases a woman’s chances of having a male baby. Think of the lives this would save? This could really reduce infanticide around the world.

I think I’ll make my spaceship baby blue. What do you think?
