Caught in the Google Net
So I was Googling myself today (oh, you know you've done it) and discovered that Google has now indexed the first book I contributed to many many years ago. Read all about my experiences in the wild world of radio here.
The gun in my basement.
In my basement, I have a safe. And in that safe, under expired passports and birth certificates, there's a gun. It's unloaded. Hasn't been loaded in probably twenty years, and yet every time I take it out, I check to make sure. If you're a gun nerd, it's a 9 shot .22 revolver. On this website , it says that "it is true that many people have been killed by a .22 LR in the course of history," but the writer concludes that this weapon is a bad choice for self defense.

Hi Marcus,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I got your blog from Ron's blog and after reading some of your blog, I was compelled to respond.
As a former Nurse, I have such compassion for people and their stories. I just want to say, you're a remarkable person for doing the things you do and not letting a disease get in your way. I'm sure you have days where you feel like how you can do it, but you're an inspiration to a lot I'm sure.
Although, I haven't read everything on your blog, I'm sure your story gives abundance of hope for others out there or at least give people an insight of someone else's life and to appreciate it and I thank you....
Best of Luck to You.....
Thanks so much for stopping by! Nurses are cool! (Even former nurses.)
