This year I ordered a case of wine for myself for Mother’s Day. I took the liberty of signing the card from my kids and writing a touching message that was so moving, it brought tears to my eyes. Note: I’m deducting the cost of the wine from the kids’ allowances.
While a case of decent wine is nice, I decided to make a list of the things I would have really wanted for Mothers Day. This list cou... read more »

Parson's Song (an except from Leftover Shorts) (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters
—
updated May 25, 2011 11:28am
Description:
One of the three short stories from the collection called "Leftover Shorts." This piece is based loosely on the legend surrounding the folk tune "MacPherson's Lament."
Set in the rural south, a small town speculates on whether or not a young gentleman named Billy Parson will be a great man or great criminal. According to their superstitious beliefs, he would be legendary whether for positive or negative reasons. Billy also struggles to come to terms with the local superstition surrounding his fate.

This is different from most of the other books I've read by Gaiman. I love the concept of immigrants bringing their gods to he New World and then forgetting them.
I'll post my review when I'm finished with the book.

I always say that I only go to meetings for the entertainment value: because corporate politics make people act funny.
Hi Amy, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks so much for befriending me here on GoodReads! I really liked this line from your blog: "Because to survive in the corporate world you really need a "metal" attitude." So, so, so true! My metal/punk ways have served me well in my corporate career(s). Plus, I totally agree with you that Megadeath is just awesome! *Throws up metal horns* See you around.
