"But I just can't live without you, Marg!", Gregory cried. But this Margaret isn't the Margaret he had known, the Margaret he had loved. But still, even though Margaret has changed

her hairstyle, her lipstick, and her brand of breakfast cereal, love would win out. He would learn to accept the new her- tho it meant sharing their cheerios instead of raisin bran

The sound was refreshing, like a morning meditation. A morning meditation that needed to be immediately eaten before becoming soggy, inedible, and causing him to be late to work.

"Om, om, om," he said as he slammed down the cereal of enlightenment and dashed off to work. A half hour later, as he was leaving the subway, his mind suddenly cleared,and he saw

is murmuring his name like a nursery rhyme. The throngs around him were astounded that the Holy City could sing. Everybody started singing his nursery rhyme name, Jerusalem loudest

Just remember folks that toast, fruit, o.j. , milk & FoldingStory make for a nutritious start of your day, & will ready your kids for hours of torment & tormenting by/of teachers &/or peers.

Indeed, I feel that the dearth of "likes" on my line above, prepares me for any brutal rejections that the day may bring.

yeah, cool link to the video BlastedHeath. I keep getting lost in it. I just brought my head up and I'm in Greece.

Corwin threw his Trumps into the ocean. For those he could trust, there were other decks, the Morgan-Greer perhaps, or the Ono-Sendai a few jumps away.
