“The human heart cannot heal itself.”

During the fall of 1996, my wife, Holly, came down with a fever approaching 102.

She was in bed for a few days and when she didn’t seem to be recovering, her mother took her into the emergency room (we hadn’t gotten together yet).

The doctors ran tests, pronounced it a bad flu, and sent her home.

Less than 24 hours later, her mother walked into her living room to find Holly lying on the couch, incoherent and utterly delirious.

Her fever was now over 105.

She had developed scabs on the palms of her hand and the bottoms of her feet.

She was unable to stand, talk or even make eye contact.

And by the time they arrived at the hospital this time, she was in a coma…

Funkalicious Friday Special Edition: Do You Know What It Means?

NPK is out of town, so instead of Friday Night at 8, welcome to a mini version of the NOLA/Gulf Coast Blogathon. I know NPK would approve!

RiaD is still recuperating from the Andromeda Strain, and doesn’t yet have the stamina to undertake the weighty responsibility of a full-fledged Evening Pony Party, so, since I’m a Trust Fund Guy

(trust that funds will come in eventually) and still have a lot of free time, I am once again filling-in for T.I.T.A.S.S.

We of the O.O.T.L.E. (Out of Touch Liberal Elite) that control the Left Wing, often look to the Arts to sooth our troubled souls. Sometimes by setting up

a Foundation  or a Fellowship.  Sometimes by starting a a museum, or prize, or school, named for us.  Here we tend to focus on writing and computer graphics, so lets take some time to consider some others.  

Currently however, funding is pretty tight, so instead of money, we offer an alternative form of support.   Once the Democrats control The White House, we are certain that a new era of peace and prosperity will ensue.  In the meantime, we encourage the everday working class to take some time out in between your three part-time jobs and delve into the world of the Arts so that you’ll have some skills, and maybe some projects finished, by the time we’re donating money again.  

There are many resources availabe for such endeavors, but we choose You Tube, well, because embedding videos is easy, and it’s FREE.

Enjoy learning!  

But DO NOT recommend this.  Instead , go to the Front Page for some inspiration.

The rest of the videos will be of reduced size, but remember that if you double-click they will open in a new window and you can begin your new career as a starving artist.

Funkalicious Friday: DIY!

The tubes are slow tonight my friends, like an old man in a deli trying to send back soup…..???

It took me half an hour to get this one Tube to load far enough so I could copy the embed code…and I can’t even listen to it! But I think it is appropriate, since I will have to lean on y’all to fill out the play list tonight, Goddess Bless ALL of you!

Now, get to work!
