Oh, that’s not funny. I just wrote a huge update about Nikki having Norwalk and Quinn and I spending the day together while Jordy was at school and this darn website crashed, losing all my stuff. Sigh. Oh well. Anyway, the main gist of it all is as follows: Nikki is ok, sleeping a lot and hopefully will be on solid food again soon, Quinn surprised the heck out of me today by pulling himself up on the lazyboy in the living room, kneeling in front of it. I also plugged www.popcap.com<\/a> because it’s free and so fun for all ages. I finished by saying that Steve Earle’s Jerusalem and Bruce Springsteen’s The Rising are freakin’ excellent albums that just happen to be inspired by 9\/11.<\/p>\n

Quick lyric snippets are as follows:<\/p>\n

Steve Earle’s “John Walker’s Blues”
\nI’m just an American boy raised on MTV
\nAnd I’ve seen all those kids in the soda pop ads
\nBut none of ’em looked like me
\nSo I started lookin’ around for a light out of the dim
\nAnd the first thing I heard that made sense was the word
\nOf Mohammed, peace be upon him <\/b><\/p>\n

Bruce’s “The Rising”
\nLeft the house this morning
\nBells ringing filled the air
\nWearin’ the cross of my calling
\nOn wheels of fire I come rollin’ down here<\/b><\/p>\n

Just really good, and go now and buy the CD. <\/p>\n

That’s all for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
