Unless you've already planned the ending - and you know about those crazy best-laid plans. If the end is near, I'm having another piece of cake and a lot more alcohol.

One other thought - those Mayans are looking way too prescient for me these days.... Ann: anyone can tell the story he/she is in. The telling will be unreliable, of course….

Things have indeed gone to hell, and not in the way that my father or grandfather or great-grandfather or Aristotle's grandfather may have thought in times past. People have ALWAYS thought society was eroding from "the good old days," but our present moment seems demonstrably different. I recently finished reading AFFLUENZA. I assure you, it did nothing to improve my mood...

Here's a great slam poem by Austalian poet Maxine Clarke that really said something to me http://slamup.blogspot.com/2009/06/little-michael-poem.html.

When I was in my teens I saw and heard that voice do "Pop". Wasn't my thing. When I saw "Thriller" I liked the dance moves. One day I was informed about an aging icon insulated by great wealth who would entice children to the gingerbread house. I threw up when I heard about the sensors that alerted him to approaches to his bedroom. Would I have had him as a babysitter is the only question I ever asked myself. The answer was not difficult to work out. ...but the child in me remembers the voice that sang Ben. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqo17o2a1w When I was young I heard a sweet voice sing “Ben”.

I only wish you'd post more. FYI, When I was in 8th grade, I got stuck taking my young female 6th grade cousin to see the Jackson Five. Myself, I always liked Tito the best. Jeff Jim,
