It’s been said that common sense is actually not all that common. Some people believe that everyone has common sense but that a certain segment of the population just doesn’t use it. If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time you know how I love nonsense, so this trait likely puts me in the group of people having uncommon sense.

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.

| I really enjoyed reading these short devotionals designed for use by a family. The book was written as a companion to the Ka*Pop CD "It's Time to Fly" but it could easily stand alone as a great resource for families with young school-age children. Th...more | |

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.
