Rachel has left us. Again. I kept going back, every day. I went back to old entries and enjoyed them. I read what she wrote whenever I could.

Her last post is here.

Her work involves hours and hours of typing, and I understand how she must feel. She claims she never had anything original to say, which was stark raving bullshit; but she deserves her freedom from the opression of the keyboard. Maybe we can get her to come visit us and comment on a post from time to time. maybe not. Whatever the case, I wish her well, I’m going to miss her, and I’m going to hope someday she has a gig which allows her to relax luxuriantly on a divan while nubian servants peel her grapes and type her dictated weblogging. We will miss you, Miss Lucas.

So i don’t do it often, but sometimes I actually open and read my spam.

Yeah. I know.

Still, if you never look, you sometimes miss gems like this:

“Chicago’s infamous Mayor Daley, who endangered the city by changing it from a controlled airspace to an uncontrolled one, by the midnight vandalisim performed on Chicago’s miegs Field, is about to unveil another one of his atrocities.

In the new millenium Park, there is a sculpture named “Cloud Gate” by Anish Kapoor. it looks sort of like a polished tinfoil bike helmet. It will be unveiled on Mayor Daley on the 16th, and hundreds of people will be showing up with tinfoil hats to join in the festivities.
Help make it thousands. Put on a white t-shirt and a tinfoil hat of your own construction, and show up in the new millenium Park on July 16th, 5:00PM Mayor Daley has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this park alone,(aside from private donations!!!) let alone all the other projects, while city cops waited months for a contract. “Cloud Gate”, a huge polished stainless “mother ship” is just another indication of the wastfulness of this man. Use a black magic marker to write “couldn’t the mother ship have landed at miegs?” or anything else you want on your shirt, and show up at 5:00. We hope to see you there! pass this along to anyone you know who hates the wastefulness and let’s show this idiot what we think of him (peacefully). ”

Today, the flag goes back to the top of the mast.

Today, I stop mourning the loss of perhaps our greatest president ever.

Today, because my reach exceeds my grasp, because I am a parent and because the world in which my child lives is important to me, I’ve had enough. I will get off my halfmoons and spend some time doing something to change my world. I will not let the “Nation of Nannies” ratchet back the freedoms so dearly won by the fathers of this, the greatest nation on earth. I may not be capable of very much. I may not succeed. I WILL try.
