The Almost Moon

Weird. A moon theme. I listened to a podcast of Fresh Air interview with Alice Sebold about her book The Almost Moon. Now, Liam has just finished his homework and gone upstairs. He took his Bullet Blender with him. We stopped at Walgreen's after I picked the children up from the Unitarians. Madeline needed mascara and shampoo. Liam said he wanted to buy a Bullet Blender. I said go for it, if you want it, let's get it. Maybe your mother will laugh, maybe she'll cry. Dorothea and I watched Sweetland. She got the video from Blockbuster, our only source now that the local Home Video store closed. We started watching it last night, and got about half way through, when it was time to go across the street to the neighbor's cocktail party. Funny, but that clan is definitely North Dakota Lutheran, just like the movie portrays. One of the guys from last night is actually a Lutheran minister. Spooky. And it isn't even Halloween yet. There is a mention of a Becker County, Minnesota. Sure enough. Think Detroit Lakes.
