Whew. Okay. Got the whining out of my system. For now.
Glad y'all liked the Wesley icons. Who knows? I may make more.
And no - the last story I posted is not the last story of the Epiphany series. Promise. I have more planned for the boys, never you fear.
Have a few rants stored up. We'll see if I write them. I'm trying to be good and do job search things.

stakebait Just posted about some 9-11 stuff. I'm warning y'all now that as we get closer to the anniversary you'll be getting at least an essay out of me. Possibly more.
My local paper is asking people to write in with "Where were you on 9-11?" Um - huh? Doesn't that strike you as gratuitous? We live here. I don't need to know what 9-11 was like for those close to the city because I'm close to the city. There isn't a person in this town who wasn't in the Towers or in Manhattan or close to someone in either of those two situations. We know these stories, why post them? How can any words express what we don't already know and feel because we were there.
Honestly the only way I could see something like that making sense would be if they took the stories and sent them elsewhere. Publish them out in Colorado, or Hawaii or Austrailia or something - somewhere where people don't have that in-their-guts connection to this area to let them know what it was like for us. Otherwise this isn't news.
I gotta say that I agree with my dad when he says what the local news should do is have a blackout or something like that to honor the moment. There's just no words or actions that can cover it.
In other news, the characters living inside of my head need to stop listening to maudlin music. I'm trying to concentrate here.
