The following email has been going around about Sarah Palin, written by a resident of Wasilla - a town small enough for everybody to know everybody. I haven't done any poking around to see that it's true, but, hey, it's interesting. A note to all by Anne Kilkenny Dear friends, So many people have asked me about what I know about Sarah Palin in the last 2 days that I decided to write something up . . . Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in common: their gender and... read more

Dear Reader, I don't seem to have done much the last two days -- wasted a lot of time on the computer. Sometimes I start on MySpace and Facebook and just wander from person to person. It's interesting but it can easily get out of hand. Here another installment of Looking Over My Shoulder at Email :                 October 17 to Dan: Having to remind people that Veterans Day was created to promote peace is another example of how the original purpose of a holiday has gotten lost...

I left Saturday morning for Tours and met up with Sarah and Claire. Sarah sent me a text message while I was on the train saying, "My train gets in at 9:57am. Oh, and I stabbed myself last night!"

We owe it to Shirley Chisholm, who first took the "white-male-only" sign off the White...

There was more noise this morning although not a early as the episode yesterday. I have been trying to find a way to make three quilt labels in a hurry instead of hand embroidery. Did some exploration at the local screen printing and embroidery shop - no can do by them. Then I started to think that I should ask Cheryl Winslow who has been quilting my quilts. I check my email and low and behold, there is a note from her in my inbox. Great minds, etc... Turns out she has provided me with a solution...

Yes, we have a new kitten, but life goes on.  And "Mr Ferguson Is Ill Today" couldn't have hit more of my bulletproof narrative kinks if Sarah had turned into a crime-fighting squid. Also, this post is dedicated to piecesofalice . This episode is split up into separate but linked narratives. We start with SARAH'S STORY.
