Has anyone heard any positive word of mouth regarding The Mysteries of Pittsburgh coming out of Sundance?

I haven't.

Get Along

Listen, I know (I know) that parents are insufferable about things like these, but I really love this poem my second-grader Ruby wrote. It's the sense of meter, I guess.


People Should Get Along

People should really get along.
No matter if your hair is long,
or if you wear glasses,
or go to English classes.
No matter if your breath smells bad,
or if you make your parents mad.
No matter if you are a hippie,
or if you can't spell Mississippi.
I really wish everyone would get along.

From Heaven Above to Earth I Come

Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest,
Through whom the sinful world is blest!
Thou com'st to share my misery;
What thanks shall I return to thee?





(I had intended to post this verse on the appropriate day last week, but misplaced my bulletin from Christmas Eve services and only just found it.)
