Ezekiel's Daughter

The trouble with being home during the day is that I rarely get anything creative done.  I rush about getting housework done.  There are real things scheduled again.  Getting the  ceiling fans fixed; getting the floodlight fixed but I didn’t work on the novel much.

Passed on the interstate a trailer carrying a hot pink back-hoe with the stenciled name “Demo Diva”.  Love it!  Whether the owner is male or female, that is one secure person.  I posted this on fb and a friend said that she had met the owner.  Not telling!

The topic on NPR today was wikileaks: good or bad?  The State Department is running around like mad talking to all of our international confidants telling them that (a) we’re sorry about the leak and (b) we really didn’t mean the nasty things that our ambassadors said about you.  Meanwhile I think that they just gave writers like Le Care’  decades of intrigue to write about.  And we get to learn that the leaders in the Middle East would love for us--or better yet--Israel to do their dirty work for them.  Then they can loudly scream foul, you understand.  Or turn their backs in anger.  Are we surprised?  No, because we perform the same tricks from time to time.  But it is so delicious to see it out in the open, don’t you think?  I mean, we always imagine that the fiction writers are exaggerating.  Better yet, some of the leaks are so well written.  I know where all the humanities majors went.  They went to the state department.  I don’t hear such good prose from Congress, believe me.
