I had a request for an interview about my blog, which you can click on the link to view. I was really beat when I wrote the answers, so they are definitely not my best work--do feast your eyes on what happens when I neither edit nor run a spellcheck! :) As I said on the interview, I have the "keyboarding skills of a blind cave fish." I really appreciated being asked to give some thoughts on blogging.
At any rate, Mr. Strega and I had a long drive yesterday, delivering my youngest son unto music camp.
I do love my dear son (nicknamed Riff here). It's funny--Riff recently told me he never knew how tight things were monetarily when he was growing up--I was pretty good about finding free things to do in town for kids, and I discovered that you could check out two kids' videos a day at the Felton Library. So, on Fridays, if Riff had done all that he needed to do (homework and such), he got to check out two videos for the weekend (we rented "ET" a lot, as I recall). He still thinks that was the coolest thing, that you could get videos at the library. He gave me a big hug yesterday before disappearing into the housing for the folks at the music camp, already surrounded by his friends from last year. He really is an amazingly gifted guitarist--as hard as it would be to see him go far away next year to study music, I want him to, because I want him to pursue his dream, as all his siblings have done. Besides, when every one of his music teachers has come to me and said Riff could easily become a professional musician, I listen.
Our Felton Library is the soul of cuteness, by the way--it used to be a small church, so I always think of it as a monument to the religion of books and literature.
Anyway, there is a lot of fighting going on at the Ben Lomond Topix boards over the McClish trial outcome. I hate to see how this crime has torn up our community. It's natural for such things to bring up strong emotions and even fear, but hard to see people lashing out in pain and frustration.
