It's All Temporary

It's all of 9 degrees in Small Town this morning, and the headline in Small Town Newspaper reads "Jobless Rate On the Rise." sigh.

With those things in mind, I present you with this.

That's yet another wonderful, inspirational and beautifully written piece, Robyn.
Your editorials have a way of making me sit back and smile and say "Well, that's alright then."
A rare gift.

I like your piece better than the headline story.
Wonderful Robyn! I felt every word. It made me sad too but smiling all the while as I conjured up this image of a stomping, crazy-mad tiny girl finally able to return, indignant at the elements, to her home! hehe.......ahhhhh.

Happy Birthday To...

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
