Goto RON PAUL web Site cause he is the happy medium as you say. Incredible ideas there, so real too.

"Happy", "politics", and even "medium" are non-constants.

People run to the edge of the earth only to find it's still round.

I blog here to explore diversity and/or share it. I think Camille has said same. You're diverse, Jacques. So are Blawg readers and contributors.

A rolling blog gathers no moss.

From oh well to oil well
all's well that reads well.

"well well well" - john lennon.

Just teasing Camille in good fun after she had a mild RTT (Republican Temper Tantrum) yesterday. We get DTT's once in awhile too. In the end we are very happy to have each other, especially in lieu of the fact that theirs is a peculiarly smallish family. See my next blog on that score. Hé, good comments 13th. I got to have that Lennon song I can't seem to remember. Love those lyrics.

Oh yes, and it was a humdinger tantrum. Anyhow, I've pledged to myself never to do it again. I WILL be a good girl (at 68). Still, my blood boileth over. Read Ralph Peters' bit on the Armenian resolution.

Oh! yes i've seen those political exchanges between Jacques mon frère and Camille. Very sparky and not polite. When he gets"HOT" flood gates open. But Nikki has a magic wand to abate and restore civilité

;-) ok good 2 know all's well!

The13th said...

ack! several replies, all off topic!

Jacques - The only part of a Lennon song lyric posted was the title itself, "well well well". So it's not your memory failing you, it's my improvising.

Nikki - save some magic wand for me! Thanks for the info, OETK!

and last but not least, Camille!
Here goes... (13 grins)

First since you asked only my review (not everyone's) I am led to ponder several possibilities...

1. We're online buddies
2. I'm being triangulated in a family feud. I'm new in town. Hello sailor.
3. We're both new to blogging and rather enjoy being casual messes while Jacques and company look for order.

Now, as to that review...

(...pours the words in a bardy snifter, rolls his Third Eye with their fluidity, then sips...)

"A lot of locations and names for a few paragraphs. You'll lose a percentage of the Stephen King crowd that depends on Maine stream. Meanwhile the Salmon Rushdie crowd will check your spelling - intensely. So if you are bad at spelling then it's back to King's which-craft. I myself can't tell you which craft is better as I admire both authors in their own writes.

The short end of this opening sets a nice little intrigue of suspicious alliance. Xenophobia & nepotism goes Darth Vader? I anticipate somewhere there will be blindfolds and bats, but not a happy piñata in sight.

Opens nicely. And hangs nicely from the line. Efficiently does what it should do, Camille. Tease.

Also, I'm glad that you cut the tap dancing Republican in the airport stall from the scene. It was overplayed and completely broke all tempo. I'm certain a message on an anonymous recorder could have told you that much, but I can't help but reinforce such brave editorial conviction.

Only minor (k)nit: Shamshad's "neck line" may be overplayed/obvious at this early point. Thin her out with more demure if you intend to stretch this later.

- whit love! Thanks for asking, Camille.

Very Good! the13th
Only I just found out that Camille is terrified at looking at responses from her postings or comments. Maybe you should also send her a direct copy of your fine review ccira@sbcglobal.net

Woo-hoo, 13, I love you. Such good and right on mark comments. Hell, I'm an amateur writer.

Hell, Camille, you are a GOOD amateur writer! Just quit using the word amateur and you are there.
