At first, I thought I was getting fired (you know, for all of those "doctor appointments" and "meetings" and "webinars" I've had recently). She told me that she had nominated me for a United Way Child Abuse Hero of the Year award, and that I won. So I followed her into the upstairs lobby where one of the local newscasters is sitting there with a cameraman. I didn't think anything of it since this particular newscaster is very involved in community programs -- in fact, I had met her before through Stray Rescue. Anyway, she starts asking me about CAPP and what we do, and then says, "Oh, by the way, you didn't get an award, you are going to be on Jeopardy!" She interviewed me and asked me what my worst category is (Poetry) and then quizzed me. I only got one out of the four right. So now I am off to buy Poetry for Dummies. The interview is going to be online next week, so I will post a link. I will also let you know when I am going to be on. I know I don't have a chance in hell of winning, but I am real excited to have this experience.
I am laughing hysterically, guys! Hopefully, I won't be so nervous that I forget an IMCT inside joke. I also can't wait because I am going to finally meet the guy who gave us the joy that is black people caring if PiL is going to reunite or not. Yes...I am going to meet Tep!
Got a Rake? Sure!

I think I´ll be in Seattle that weekend hanging with K-Pox.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
