I stopped breathing tonight. I’ve been sick for the last four or five days with a horrible cold, dehydrated, unable to eat, exhausted… I thought last night I was almost over it. I packed my lunch and laid out my clothes for Global Village–and today I couldn’t even drag myself into the shower. I could [...]

I’ve been blogging here almost four and a half years. When I started out, I was using the very plain blue theme.

Ted Williams, the homeless man in Columbus, Ohio–the You-Tube sensation with the velvet voice–now has an offer to do voice-overs for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. He was re-united today in NYC with his 90 year old mother. It’s a heart-warming story; I’m glad for him. However, my little homeless guy was screwed over this week [...]
