Hola John McCain!

By seabird 303 days ago from http://www.seabirdchronicles.com

Why his campaign chose the particular location of the smallest room on the block is beyond me – there was only room for a handful of non-press peons such as ourselves. Jonathan was actually disappointed – he wanted to

The Good, the Sayonara, and the Fluff: My Books of 2007

By seabird 321 days ago from http://www.seabirdchronicles.com

Aside from a couple of Fluffs, my brain was able to wrap itself around some pretty interesting and enlightening tomes last year.

I’ve placed the books into six categories, and then made a few comments on each. If the word sayonara appears after the author it means 1) I don’t recommend it and 2) it went straight to the Goodwill pile. I on

Sheep in need of a shepherd

By seabird 346 days ago from http://www.seabirdchronicles.com

There were supposed to be four sheep and a cow in the nativity part of the children’s Christmas program on Sunday. It was time for the four sheep and cow to go onstage. I began herding.
