A happy ending

A boy was missing, taken by his birth mother who had physically, psychologically, and sexually abused him in the past. He is now found. This sounds far away, but it is not. Jordan is the step-son of the ex-husband of Kim from I wasn’t always like this…. I am so happy that Jordan was found. How horrible that a child is missing, but how terrifying it must be to know that the person who took that child has a history of performing unspeakable acts upon that child.

Today’s l-unch suspiciously similar

Having the other half of that tasty sandwich from yesterday. Three cheers for saving some for later! I also just bought two slices of chocolate ganache cake for tonight’s after dinner treat. Whee!

(No time to take and post pictures, I’m just taking a breather from article writing.)

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

No, I did not wake up with gum in my hair.

Mel has some horrible stuff happening that she cannot elaborate upon. P’nut lost her best furry friend. Spicy‘s step-dad has a brain tumor. My co-worker in Iraq told me about a superiorly shitty death day yesterday.

I feel so horrible for everyone. I wish there were more of me to spread around my sympathy and help everyone to heal emotionally. I want everyone to know how sorry I am that they are going through this awful time in their own way. Just awful.

William Bennett should not be allowed to speak

I was carpooling with the Mr. this morning and heard Howard Stern say that William Bennett is quoted as saying that one way to reduce crime in America is to abort all black babies. My jaw hit the floor. I didn’t believe it. I don’t know who this guy is, but that was just so wrong, hurtful, hateful. Howard then played a clip of William saying the words out loud. He said it wasn’t his own theory, he didn’t specifically say that he thought it was a good idea, but even to continue to speak of such a theory is grossly irresponsible and shows just how little progress we all have made in the arena of equality, particularly in the areas of race and class (he specifically refers to economics). I realize in writing this post I allow the theory to reach more people, but I want to warn those who have been brainwashed by his best selling virtues books of his real agenda.

You disgust me, Sir.

L-unch!

Do you know what I had for lunch today? I know you wanna know. I thought it was such a great lunch that I took photos. My co-workers think I’m insane, nothing new there.

sammy-out
sammy on the out: 10-grain bread, dill pickle on the side

sammy-in
sammy on the in: regular mayo, swiss cheese, red onion, green peppers,
banana peppers, and one tomato directly in the middle please
(yes, I’m Sally :)

This is my favorite sandwich, although I will claim my favorite is a BLT with just bacon and cheese and mayo. If you clicked the Sally link you’re probably thinking the same thing as I am: “There’s a broadway musical based on the movie? Huh!”

I think I might needs a degree in Library Technology

…so that I can tackle my ginormous blogroll. The Dewey decimal system has true merits. It is time to divide the celeblogs from the blogarians. Expect change in the side bar, but just in the “can’t live without” section.
