Who Shook The Snow Globe

Is it really snowing on April 16? Burrrr! If this is global warming, I think I need to drive to work more often to warm things up even further. It's more like the seansons have shifted back a month or two. We're getting February weather in April and September weather in October-November. I think I'll tour as a side show to Al Gore and come up with a fancy name for my theory. In the mean time, I'm not packing my winter coat yet!

Now What Do I Read? Kurt Is In Heaven

Kurt's in Heaven Now.

As Kurt Vonnegut often explained, that statement would have his humanist peers rolling in the aisles with laughter. Humanists are skeptical of religion and more focused on doing well with and for others without expectation of thanks or reward for doing so. Kurt, obviously, was a humanist.
I'm not sure what it was about his writing, but I was drawn to his conversational style that was so much more eloquent and sophistocated than "smarter" or more "artistic" writers.

He questioned everythign with a wit and candor that illustrated absurdities and brough a smile to your face. It's a sad thought to know that I've read every word he'll have ever written. Much like when we lost Hunter S. Thompson we're one more wordsmith towards an extinct art.
