It makes me both happy and proud

to know that somebody Googled "erotic harry potter ginny weasly" and found my blog. Specifically, my review of The Half-Blood Prince.

I'm actually second on the results list for that search. The key to that, of course, is misspelling "Weasley."

You don't get too many surprises these days

However, the level to which people will sink to avoid responsibility can provide a shock. The father of John Hancock (the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher who recently died in a car accident) is suing those who are truly responsible for John's death. That list includes the tow truck driver and the person whose car stalled.

Let's see, should the blame rest with the person who was drunk, speeding, not buckled, had marijuana in his car and was talking on a cell phone, or a tow truck driver who took an exorbitant amount of time to get a stalled car off the road.

(Oh yeah, an "exorbitant amount of time" is somewhere between seven and fifteen minutes.)

How pathetic.

Good news!

According to Salary.com, a typical stay-at-home mother would earn over $138,000 for her work (if she was actually paid). Factoring in the standard wage increase for being male, that means that Michelle owes me almost $160,000.

I'm not sure if I should tell her now, or bank up the money for a few years first.

If I still had a blog

I'd probably post something snarky about this.
