Comment on Is It A Ghost? by Cassandra Curtis

Wonderful photo! Yes, once you eliminate and debunk all possible explanations, all you have left is evidence of a phenomena, and that phenomena – no matter how unbelievable – is probably paranormal.

Chi-town!?

Alas,…

I’ve been checking in on ya off and on since I read a profile of you in the Dallas Morning News YEARS ago. Geez. Musta been like ‘97 or ‘98.

So, now you’ve drifted away from DFW, eh? Well, you may be geographically more remote, but you’re still a click away in cyberspace.

That was… Wow. I now wish I’d never read it, because I now feel like a total hack… Just as I felt after reading “Surrealistic Island” (sigh).

Comment on Millea Kenin, where did you go? by Jerry

Hi!

Thank you for contacting me. It was quite a surprise and also a genuine pleasure.

What sort of bio to honor your mother? Something that captures who she was, something that gives examples of her, where she came from and what she accomplished. Who she influenced.

It’s funny, because I never actually met her, but I have such fond memories of the letters she wrote — sadly, none of which I still have. She was always encouraging me. I was this geeky 17 year old kid wanting to be a “real” writer, and she did what she could to help.

One memory in particular I thought I’d share — in each manuscript I’d send, of course I’d include a self-addressed stamped envelope for her reply, and on one of these I drew a cartoon dialog balloon next to whichever US President was on the stamp, so that the President was saying, “Reject!”

Indeed, your mom did end up rejecting the story, but on the envelope she drew another dialog balloon below mine, so the President also said, “But do keep trying!”

Hey there,

Millea was my mom. What sort of bio would you like to see up there? Nice to read your words about her. She was passionate about writing and a smart and generous person. Glad you made connection.

Actually, sorry, I’m quantum entangled with someone very special, forever and for always.

So are you single?

I’m now rewriting this manuscript, and as I’d predicted, a lot of what you read here is going to be different than what ends up in the final draft.

Comment on It's 3 degrees outside… by Jerry

Jerry — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 23:10:38 +0000

Hah, I thought this was bad. Now looking back to me, 3 degrees is warm. We just had a string of days in the low NEGATIVE 20’s, and were for one day the COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH. Really. We beat the poles! In Iowa!
