I waited in line for all the books. But I lived in a oddball little town in Washington state and the event was a party. Then the next morning I would pack my kayak with my tent, sleeping bag and enough food to get me through the book, and paddle to a county park and camp on a cliff overlooking the Sound. I would stay there until I finished the book. Never saw another soul that could possibly ruin the ending for me. The last of the movies is a bittersweet event for me. It was and always will be a wonderful series of books that told a magical story. And my method of reading each new book the day after release will also remain one of the most magical things I ever did.

You think this is bad. Just wait till parents can gene shop for their unborn children. "I want a blond haired, blue eyed nazi type and oh. NO GAY GENE!!! Can you add Uber Christian? NO? That's a learned characteristic? Well we can beat the god into them don't worry.": Conversations like this are not that far in the future.

They say there is no such thing as bad press. And I am sure that Tracy Morgans career will experience a bit of an uptick (man I hate that phrase) I suppose when your career is sort of sliding into oblivion, a person has to do whatever it takes to get your name on people tongues. I mean look at how successful Sarah Palin is at doing this. But not only denigrating an entire segment of society, but also exploiting your child just to get some kind of audience reaction shows me that the man needs some professional help.

Dang. I had a spot cleared and dusted for a nice 72 inch LED flat screen TV that I was going to pick up at the Left Behind looting sale. Guess I will have to wait till 2012 now.

There are gracious people everywhere, but regrettably the barking dogs of social conservatism gets the most press.

Christ would have some harsh words for these people. And whatever Kingdom they think they are headed for will be behind doors they have no chance of opening.

I wish you a speedy recovery Dustin. Hang in there.

Because it sells tickets and fills seats. Professional sports is not about sports, its about making money.

What a wonderful yet bittersweet story. To spend over 90 years in companionship with a twin sounds wonderful. It sounds like their love for one another was unending and continued even into death and whatever waits beyond that. That kind of bond is something that most of us will never experience or totally understand, and yet many of us might envy.
