We have met Marni Nixon a few times over the past few years through a mutual friend. The mutual friend used to be her personal assistant and we met her at an annual Christmas party. Larry is correct, she's a delightful woman.

Larry is also delightful and, as always, we had a great visit.

Good vibes for your DC trip Lar.

Thanks for that explanation, Cilla.

Just back from a nice dinner with friends. A few bottles of wine later and all is right. Now it's the last couple of episodes of the first season of "Bosom Buddies" before the end of the evening.

This evening I finished reading a book that I think might interest Jane  and/or  Ginny for their book discussion groups: The Ha-Ha

Of course you both may have already read it  - it is about 5 years old

He is young and vibrant and I am so excited for the direction our church is taking  - we had almost two years  without a permanent pastor  and we were losing members like crazy

Have decided to pack it in for the night.  I have a good outline of the legal issues and have most of the factual background done.  Tomorrow I should be able to put it together.  Then I have to check my exhibits and make sure I'm not over the 100 page limit

I have no idea what tomorrow will bring.  Schools are already scheduled to be 2 hours late.  We're supposed to have about 7 inches of snow by morning.   I have a 9:00 AM appointment so I'll get up early and see if I can dig out. It's a fine light snow, so it may not be a big deal to move it.   Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Aspiring politician Christina-Taylor Green was born in the midst of tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001, and died Saturday morning while trying to meet Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

The strong-willed 9-year-old third-grader had gone to meet Giffords with a neighbor when she was shot. She died later at University Medical Center.

Her neighbor was shot four times and was recovering from surgery Saturday evening.

Christina-Taylor had just been elected to the student council at Mesa Verde Elementary School and had been interested in politics from a young age, her father, John Green, said Saturday night.

"She was a good speaker. I could have easily seen her as a politician," her father said.

The brown-eyed athletic girl had one sibling, an 11-year-old brother named Dallas, and the two loved to go swimming together.

She'd already told her parents she wanted to attend Penn State one day and have a career that involved helping those less fortunate than her.

She also loved animals and was a passionate dancer who loved ballet, hip-hop, jazz and gymnastics and was the only girl on her Canyon del Oro Little League baseball team, "The Pirates." She played second base.

Christina-Taylor came from a family of baseball players. Her grandfather, former major-league pitcher Dallas Green, was team manager for the Philadelphia Phillies when they won the World Series in 1980.

"She kept up with everyone, she was a strong girl, a very good athlete and a strong swimmer," said her mother, Roxanna Green. "She was interested in everything. She got a guitar for Christmas so her next thing was learning to play guitar."

Christina-Taylor also enjoyed singing in a church choir at St. Odilia's Catholic Church, where she had received her first Holy Communion in the spring.

"'Let the children come to me,' Jesus said (Matthew 19:14). Christina is with Him," Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas wrote in a letter to parishioners sent from Jordan, where he is attending a bishops' meeting.

Already aware of inequalities in the world around her, Christina-Taylor often repeated the same phrase to her mother: "We are so blessed. We have the best life."

Her birth date no doubt helped inspire Christina-Taylor's interest in politics, Roxanna Green said. She was one of 50 9/11 babies featured in a book called "Faces of Hope."

"She was born back east and Sept. 11 affected everyone there, and Christina-Taylor was always very aware of it. She was very patriotic and wearing red, white and blue was really special to her," her mother said.

"She was all about helping people, and being involved. It's so tragic. She went to learn today and then someone with so much hatred in their heart took the lives of innocent people."

Tucson, AZ — The controversial Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) and Rev. Fred Phelps have been quick to capitalize on Saturday's tragic shootings in Tucson.



The Topeka-based church, known for protesting the funerals of American soldiers, released a statement shortly after the shootings with the headline, "Thank God for the shooter - 6 dead! WBC will picket their funerals!"

"God sent the shooter!," the statement continued. "Your fag-loving Congresswoman fights for her life."

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was targeted and shot Saturday morning at a supermarket in Tucson. She remains in critical condition.

Six other people died, including a 9-year-old girl, who was the granddaughter of former Yankees and Mets manager Dallas Green, Arizona Federal Court Judge John Roll and an aide to the congresswoman, Gabe Zimmerman.

Always looking for attention - even negative - Westboro Baptist Church members plan to picket memorial services of the shooting victims.

Westboro Baptist Church, is not affiliated with a larger denomination and is made up mostly of the 71-year-old Phelps' extended family. WBC is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League and is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Phelps and his church gained national attention when they protested at the funeral of Matthew Shephard with signs that read "No Fags in Heaven" and "God Hates Fags."

In December, Westboro Baptist Church picketed the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards.
