You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department: in this morning's Oregonian, an AP story tells of the lawsuit filed by some survivors of a capsizing of a small boat who are suing a cruise line for not stopping to help them. They were stranded in the ocean for weeks and two of them died. The man who ultimately found them? A Portland man named (wait for it) Gilligan.

As I typed that, I had the nagging feeling that it might have been another show, but my brain came up with Merv Griffin's name and decided to take the rest of the night off. Mike Douglas sounds EXACTLY right.

Both of my book groups are reading it for May, so we'll see if my friends can enlighten me this Thursday or on the 30th.

I am a huge fan of dystopia. So the premise didn't really freak me out or surprise me. But I could see how it could be upsetting/depressing if you are new to the genre.
Saying goodbye is so damn hard.
Some of our sister in law's sisters were here and they were recounting odd and disturbing tidbits of their mother's family's history, which led me to state that I was suddenly feeling like my family wasn't that dysfunctional after all.
In happier news, we had a huge family gathering yesterday and the house again proved that it can handle large swarms of people quite easily. The weather was about as perfect as you could have hoped for. It's actually going to be hot here today (90).
