hilariously sad

You must read my friend's latest post on Letter from Joshua (down among my must-read blogs). It's funny, truest in the finest sense of teenage angst and clouded judgment (judgment?) and a reminder for dads to lock up their daughters and mothers to school them well.....

If I lived in CA, I'd consider litigation. It's silly enough that it doesn't dawn on stepsister not to give her money to an inaccessible business. It is not the salon but the property owner who is responsible for that.

PS: Your link to Joshua's blog isn't working...just wanted to let you know. Thanks for visiting me today.; January 17, 2010 at 4:53 PM

e said...: Dear Whye,

Joshua's posting was a wonderful cautionary tale, for both young women and men. I enjoyed it in spite of being reminded of some not-so-wonderful parts of my youth...

I hope you and Excy are having a good day!; January 18, 2010 at 2:42 PM

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself......

Having lived in the east and the west, I've found myself back in my home state of the south - not the 'deep' south; we like to think of ourselves as pioneers and our state as the 'jumping off place' to beginning a westward journey, like so many migrating pioneer families considered us to be in the 1800s.

My husband "Excy" and I run a wild mustang sanctuary (www.wingspur.org -- that's our 'wild bunch' running across the header up there), and are being bossed around by tons of wild and domestic animals. We seldom get a chance to get away anymore, but that's okay.

I am a former magazine editor and was working for a national nonprofit when I had to go on disability in '97. Now I freelance articles and edit for a publishing house and private clients. Like most everyone out there, I have a few screenplays and mostly-completed novels in a drawer. I'm also failing to learn how to play the hammered dulcimer. Can't read music, just play by ear. But I have slowly mastered some civil war-era and folk songs.

I started blogging because a friend thinks I'm funny and I'd be good at it, and because it's way more fun than Facebook.
