Those of us on the Inpop email list received a letter from Max on behalf of Superchick today. Go here to read it.
I’ve heard the song Hero quite a few times but I’ve never really listened to the whole thing. LOVE it. It’s right on. I was thinking of the “swimming buddy” concept Monday when I first heard about the Virginia Tech horror but I couldn’t put it into words but Max did. Thanks, Max!
Now go download Hero.
Notice I did not say “Read Authors’ Classic Works Online”. That’s because there are more than classic works found on Literature.org - The Online Literature Library. At least I have never heard of Lucy Maud Montgomerey’s The Golden Road, for example. I’m not exactly literature literate so may that is a classic and I’m just clueless.

It is difficult to go visit people who are dying. Nobody likes to talk about death for various reasons. Talking to kids about death can be a tough thing but I would like to share how we handled a situation with one of our kids for whatever it’s worth. We don’t beat around the bush but we don’t beat them over the head with it either. Continue reading ‘Talking About Dying’
