I understand his reasoning. The proposal doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in our world. The good news is that a 21st C equivalent is slowly arriving here and here. .< 12:54:30 AM  >Yearning for Yorn 'ALEXANDRA GILL won't soon forget the day she met the young rocker with the scruffy good looks and bruised bedroom drawl. And the actual content of the interview? Oh, who cares about that VANCOUVER -- It's a bittersweet epiphany that could be ripped right out of a Pete Yorn song. About halfway through our interview, I realize the yummy young rocker has nothing interesting to say. Oh, well. I really don't have anything very interesting to ask. I'm too busy imagining what would happen if I reached out and twirled his long, shaggy hair around my finger.' It's a relief to know that a woman can make a fool of herself when smitten. I wonder how this would go over if it were a man were 'interviewing' a winsome young female songwriter. .< 12:50:59 AM >The Globe and Mail-DAVID MACFARLANE '. . . . and a politely worded query addressed to our ever-vigilant American friends.

[New York Times: NYT HomePage] Nasty. We must be getting the edge of this storm. On the way home this evening Olivia and I had our umbrellas blown all over the place. Olivia was slightly alarmed. I joked that one gust almost blew me away. She asked if there was such a thing as a wind that could blow a person away. 'Tornadoes' I reminded her.
