I thought this story was interesting.  Apparently penguins sometimes pair into same-sex couples.  Buddy and Pedro have bonded at the Toronto zoo, although zookeepers will be splitting them up placing them with females to preserve the species.  I don’t know–I think Buddy and Pedro should be given an egg foster.  What do you think?

The dictator is dead.  All  the hoopla has reminded my of I trip I took to Egypt in 1988 as a high school exchange student.  I had a host family and was able to hang out with the friends of my host family’s teen-aged daughters.  One of the friends was an teenager who I believe [...]

Rewriting Huck Fin(n)?

Posted in Blogroll, race on January 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

New publications of the Mark Twain classic Huckleberry Finn will be printed without the “n” word.  The epithet  will be replaced with the word “slave.”  I really don’t get it.  It’s like rewriting history to make it less ugly.  But the ugly word is perfectly appropriate for the time the novel was written and the [...]

Shameless Self-Promotion and Cyber-Begging

Last year about this time I had just finished taking an evening screenwriting class at Emory University.  Over the years I had taken some writing classes, figuring I had a screenplay or novel in me somewhere.  Needless to say, I had several pages here, several pages there, but no finished product.  So I really loved [...]
