It's Thursday Already . . .

Today is Veterans Day

Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day, to honor

all Americans who have served in the armed forces.

I have been reading about evolution

and the more I read the more confused I become

Evolution was to play a big role in my NaNoWriMo novel, but when I began writing about it I realized that I knew a lot less about the process than I'd thought I knew. So, the novel has swung off in a different direction.

After I learn more about evolution, perhaps I will be able to inject some of my new knowledge into the story. Maybe so, or maybe not.

Time will tell . . .

In my random reading of blogs, I ran across a startling statistic:
"Of today's more than 3 million female high school athletes, 12 percent are cheerleaders, but they account for 65 percent of catastrophic injuries."

Just think about that.

Kurt Vonnegut while interviewing Kurt Vonnegut, described Kurt Vonnegut as:

"... a veteran and a family man, large-boned, loose-jointed, at ease. He camps in an armchair in a shaggy tweed jacket, Cambridge gray flannels, a blue Brooks Brothers shirt, slouched down, his hands stuffed into his pockets."
