Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

Ah, yes, fall allergies in DC.  Ugh!

*I'm actually not feeling that bad at all.  It's just that "insidious post-nasal drip" has returned, and it's very "insidious" and annoying.

**And it's funny how when I was back in NYC over the past weekend, my allergies seemed to be in check.  -A sign, you say?  ;)

Actually, this insidious problem has been sweeping the country the past few weeks.

Makes me wonder if we've not been dosed with some biological agent or other.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Since I was on the road at the time, I would love to go back a few years for the birth of my nephew, John Michael, and my niece, Alyssa.  I did not "meet" John until he was a year and a half old, and Alyssa when she six months.

As for the more catastrophic world events... As other DRs have hinted, Good does come out Bad, and, yes, even though it would be wonderful to change history, one does have to wonder just how much history one would be changing in the process.

Well, my fall allergies - molds - have always been worse than my spring ones, so...  And then since DC was built on top of a swamp...  And since I'm also working a theatre right now, and since theatres are "traditionally" dusty...

Pulped Non-Fiction
20 Sep 2006 04:22 pm

As I write, the entire print-run of my forthcoming book, The Conservative Soul, is being pulped or trashed. A horrible printing error spliced half of the fifth chapter into the middle of the sixth, rendering the entire second half of the book incomprehensible. Many of the books were ok, but so many - thousands of them - weren't that we had no option but to start over, or risk the integrity of the text. All copies that were shipped are being recalled from booksellers. This is every writer's nightmare - especially as I discovered the error myself while re-reading the book late one night last week and couldn't believe my eyes. But it has a relatively happy ending. With the speed of today's print technology, the publishing date has been moved back only a week - to October 10. The review galleys were fine, mercifully. If you pre-ordered by Amazon, fear not. Nothing has shipped yet and the entire batch will be replaced.

Ah, the value of a good PR staff:

(Names omitted to protect the guilty)

Quote
A professional genealogical researcher, discovered that [Target's name]'s great-great uncle, Remus Target, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows.
 
On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Target; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889."
 
The researcher emailed Target@&%. Gov for comments. Target's staff of professional image adjustors cropped Remus's picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with image processing software so that all that's seen is a head shot.
 
The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:
 
"Remus Target was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
 
In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

Note to the more-literal minded: the above is satire.

Had a really spirited longer jog today - I'm feeling SO much better having had the talk with Dr. Kohn.  I'm still taking it easy, voice-wise, but it's causing me no stress whatsoever now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEARREADER LAURA!

Michael S - That sounds like a wonderful trip! I hear from people in Budapest that things are not nearly as bad as the news reports make them out to be. No surprise. If you want any Budapest travel hints PM me and I'll get you in touch with DD who spent the last 7 months there.

As for the TOD - I agree with Music Guy about Hitler. Of course, that would mean that I wouldn't exist - my father's first wife was killed in the Holocaust and my mother's fiance committed suicide on the way to the camps. My parents met after the war - and eventually I came along. As Jose said, once you start tampering with history you never know where that will lead. However...
This makes me want to revisit the old Twilight Zone episode about doing just this.
