Tonight we had dinner sitting between Dee Wallace Stone and...
Keifer Sutherland.
Do you think it's a good sign, the double Keifer? On the same street? Within 24 hours?

Not too many
conclusions, but more one of those "I Love the 80's" shows about pamie.com. Now if only Dan and Joel Stein could wax nostalgic about my year.
In fact, use the comments section to give your own "I Love the 80's" pithy statement. Try not to be Hal Sparks.
Happy New Year, y'all.

I saw this show last weekend, and was blown away with what seven (really eight) people can do on a stage. It's called
7 Fingers, and it's one of the most impressive things I've seen this year.
People say all the time that they think what I do is scary or brave. Y'all, there's never a moment when I'm doing my job where I could die. Every night these people risk their lives to make you clap your hands. That's amazing.

I let my grandmother (who is a writer) read your book.
This is her response....

I have a 75 yr old memory but here's about what I said, "After slushing through the obscene first chapter, I noticed that the author did know a variety of words and so I proceeded to read. Somewhere along the line I discovered a plot that gradually became more interesting and around the end of the book, I almost liked it. However, I will admit that it gave me a glimpse of what your generation is like. I do realize that every generation is different from the previous ones usually regarding some kind of progress. The only so-called progress I saw in that book was a complete absence of morality. Perhaps i still need to know more about your generation. So- did you write that book incognito or did a friend of yours write it? Actually I did not think the girls were as weird as much as "needy."
Thank you for coming last night. I always enjoy your company.
Love, Grandma
I have email from people who find it appalling that birth control methods aren't discussed in the book when people are having sex. Do you want to read, "He slid on the condom, and pulled at the end, just like we were taught in school"? Is that something that makes you go, "Wow! This is just like life! I love this book!"
Where are your morals? Are you "needy"?

Reference to "flying monkeys" aside [
edited to add: they have since removed those words, due to the reaction from pamie.com], this site shows you how to send a care package to
Any Soldier. If you don't personally know someone fighting in this war, perhaps in gratitude you could send hand warmers, instant coffee and tampons to someone who is. [link provided by Amanda]
The index page of pamie.com last year was filled with a list of
casualties. I was happy to have the excuse to replace that list with
book donations in May. But we will never donate as many books as there were casualties, and I think about that often when I update the donor list. What if I was still reporting all of those names?
