The photo shoot

The photographer from Des Moines Home Style magazine came in today to take pictures. It's hard to tell what will result from it, or when, but he clearly spent some time in the place. One of the lamps was unplugged so something else was probably plugged in, a dish rag and the cutting board were shuffled around in the kitchen so he likely snapped a picture of the counter and the cabinets, the shower curtain was pulled closed which doesn't say much for his evaluation of my tile installer, and my autographed picture of Whitey Herzog is missing so he knows his baseball.

Sticks and stones: There's a lot of truth in this essay. Money passage: The beauty of (the word) nigger isn't that its meaning has changed, or that's it's been turned into a positive. Words are neutral; it's the author who imbues them with their specific mode or charm. And so it is in our hands that nigger has not simply changed, but has grown and expanded beyond the syphilitic mental faculties of its racist inventors.

I didn't think she would have a leg to stand on going against Sir Paul.

Even with a big settlement, divorce lawyers sure cost and arm and a leg.
