Goddess trilogy

I have no particular reason to post about anything other than my recent coast-to-coast trips or the many exciting adventures being undertaken in the Fingerhut world, but just had to record one of my favorite celebrity gossip quotes because I ran across it online today:

"In this crazy patriarchal world we live in, we are doing our part to balance the energy. We are proud to announce the completion of our goddess trilogy with the birth of our third daughter, Makani Ravello," -Woody Harrelson and wife Laura Louie, 6/06.

I just enjoy its originality and of course I enjoy that Woody Harrelson is a free-thinker and says what he'd like in career-be-damned fashion. That's some self-confidence, a rare quality in show biz.

In the last two weeks I've dipped by feet in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and left the country for the first time in 20 months. I'll post more later and some photos as well.

Oh, and I'm going to be an AUNT!!!

Or, an Obi-san.

YEAH!!

Lazy People

As a rare visitor to MySpace, when I log in I read up on what everyone else has been doing. I saw a link on Becky's page to a myspace page for a family whose baby has been shaken (by an unrelated caretaker) and is critically injured. That is very sad, and I went to the website to read an update. The website is also a plea for financial help as the parents are practically children, the mother is only 21 and the father roughly the same age. So I peruse and feel bad for them and then see one of those little internet quizzes the mother had filled out. I presume this was completed before her baby became ill. She wrote: "I don't understand...:Government Assistance... A bunch of BS! They only help the Lazy people."


If I were cruel, I'd comment on the irony here. But she is just 21. She'll soon learn if she has not already that while she, her husband, and their infant are likely not "lazy", they will soon be the beneficiaries of the same "government assistance" that she has scorned.
