My grandpa used to know Chuck Norris when they lived in California. He says Chuck is actually a very nice man.

Miscellaneous Randomness
Lexa Puts her Mom in Her Place
OMG. Remember when Lexa said "What's wrong with you? Don't you understand Chinese?"
She just started up with that again. So after a few minutes of listening to her tease her sister about not understanding Chinese, I said "If you are so smart then, say something in Chinese!"
So Lexa quips "Wo ei ni!"
Which is Mandarin for "I love you." (Thank you, Auntie Laura.)
Um, yeah. So I will just shut the hell up and let her go with her big, bad self.

"The Vise"
By Mary Baine Campbell
The head is held
In a vise of gold.
Whatever wind may
Whip my face
I can look only
One way.
It is not
That the world is unkind.
Kind hands once touched
My lips and eyes
To say whatever such
Touches say.
And every day
A spoon, laden
With softer gold
Of honey
Spilling
Forces me.
From all directions
Lightning tells us
What is lost
Or burnt
In the collapsing
World.
Tonight, a monsoon.
The diamond-fall of rain
Bruises my face
Washes honey
From it, and
All else.
But in the vise
I can still stare—
Through brilliant
Obliterations of storm—
At what is
Still there.

Life is weird
We each have all the time there is; our mental and moral status is determined by what we do with it.
