Remember this, when Palin used her 7-yr-old as a shield? It's one reason I can't summon up too much sympathy for any media invasion into her family life.

I'll just wallow hard in this Palin news, obsess so I can be done with it. Almost done, I think. Just this: you know those six colleges she attended before she was able to collect enough credits to earn a degree? Maybe it wasn't that she wasn't bright enough, but that she can't stick with things. Not a very creditable trait, and sort of juvenile.
Keep your story simple. You get caught in lies when you try to cover or over explain. Instead, keep it simple. Tell your parents you don’t feel well. Let them ask questions if they need to know more about your symptoms. If you start rambling about a stomachache or thinking you have a fever, your parents will get suspicious because you are chatty and nervous.

What is it about the political Right mindset that makes it want to believe liberals are angry (just generally angry) and afraid (of specifics like Sarah Palin)? Do you think it's an attempt to feel powerful but something that only resonates among the base, or do the angry and afraid memes strike any chords among independents? I think it's base-only
"Stephen, is this pretty up to date, do you think? With Grazr shutting down, I need to move some work feeds. Was thinking about doing it in Google Reader, but now Dave has this new River of News version, so more motivation to wrestle with the Vista install. Even worked on CSS for the old newsriver, must be at least 3 years ago. http://www.flickr.com/photos...

Amyloo, just a note, the files already on Grazr.com will continue to be accessible. The shut down hosting means that no *new* files will be able to be created. All the old files will still be accessible from the existing URLs, at least for the foreseeable future.

Thanks, Mike. I'll want to edit the work files (the feeds change) so I think I should export, but having some trouble with exporting as OPML. Maybe because I've "streamified" some of the reading lists.

@donovanwatts Backatchawow.! How've you been? (actually not having much luck with my reading list, keep running into feed errors)
@CleverClogs Wondering about other off-the-shelf rendering options. I've used Dan McTough's tool. Is OPML manager still kicking? - http://twitter.com/Amyloo...
I like the sound of your dad. My dad had woodwork as a hobby too. He made some furniture - I have a dressing table/chest of drawers that he made me for my 21st - that I treasure. But he also carved pictures. When he died (he would have been 90 this year!) mum collected them all up and had them made into one big panel. I don't have good pics of them, but I've put a few up on flickr.

he's great. Liked the panels you posted of your dad's carvings. looks like his was labor of love too.
