John said to John, I think we make a left at the light
There should be a big crinkle, assuming this map is right
John looked over and said, Hey, no its not
It's a crumpled up wrapper from the fast food that we got
I heard They Might Be somewhere in this town
They Might Be Giants got lost driving around.
Kind'a hard to miss Grant Park, though, so I expect the show July 4th will go smoothly. Except for the inevitable rain. Anyone going? I haven't made plans that far in advance.
Oh, and after all the threats and carrying on, my response to the child who asked if she could touch the dreads as I was suffering riding the Blue Line the other night. . . was a polite, "Yes."
All mouth and trousers, me.

Ahhh...you really can't say no to kids...there was this disabled kid who just came up and hugged me one day, and I, who is not used to random kids just hugging me, just smiled and said thank you...although, it did make my day...:)

Didn't know if you had seen it yet, but I remember that you had posted about this case last year:
Darnell Williams' Death sentence was commuted.

Liz, my sister did a piece on that a few days back, so yep, I'd heard. Just found the whole thing too emotionally draining to say anything about, really. Hadn't seen the CNN article, though. Thanks for the link.
YankeeDyke, in my case, the child was apparently in her early to mid teens, so perhaps "jailbait" would have been a more appropriate term.
Or inappropriate.
Or something.
