I found out yesterday, reading the Wall Street Journal as I babysat the ex-wife, that there are an estimated 8 million bloggers on line. I don’t know whether to cry or to jump for joy that 100 some-odd people take time out of the day to check out my modest existence. Talk about competition! (Meanwhile, do I read anyone else’s blog? Heavens forfend!)
Too premature for details, but there may be the tinest bit of movement on the man front. At least there are a few definite maybes out there. Talk about good looking. It took all I could do to hand over my number with a faux confident “give me a call” instead of running down the street screaming.
Okay, here are my two cents on the Terry Schiavo thing. I have yet to hear any commentary on how much money has been spent so this poor woman could have zero quality of life for 15 years. I consider this the most obscene aspect of the entire affair. How many millions of people have died during this time because the money lacked so they could get a clean glass of water or could afford mosquito netting to protect against malaria? Children who could have laughed and received an education and experienced joy? How many have died just while I am writing this entry?
And she must endure this torture, (or would if she could feel anything--her soul is enduring it), all because her parents are so afraid of death, projecting their fears onto their daughter. It is impossible for me to believe that anyone in Terry’s situation wouldn’t have been praying for that very outcome from the second she was so devastatingly impaired, if she was capable of anything resembling prayer.
Meanwhile, I couldn’t resist anagramming her name. Some interesting results follow:

Today is Larry’s memorial service. I will be greeting friends and family at the house, for David, as they return from the cemetery. The only thing worse than having to show up for such a task is not being asked, or able, to show up for such a task.

P.S. And of course, like all of you, I am completely distraught that Jennifer Aniston has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. I better get to a Celebanon meeting, pronto.
