My faux-son's name is Steven Briggs. I always blink when I see Stephen Briggs and wonder "Stevie, what is this secret life of yours?"
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Part of my post-Hubby life is to glean his books that I'm not interested in out of the library. As I gain shelf space, I'm finding my old books and giving them room to breathe. It's rather cool to see shelves filling up with my mind's things.
