I just learned Leo Marks

I just learned Leo Marks died in January. That’s a real bummer. His book I mentioned last month really touched me. One of his poems (midway down the link) is amazing to me. I’m sorry to hear he past away.

On a lighter note, thanks to sg for a link to dancingpaul. It inspires me in a very different way than Between Silk and Cyanide.

Wow. Kaycee’s ‘mom’ Deb sure

Wow. Kaycee’s ‘mom’ Deb sure spins a good tale. If you recall, I
blogged many moons ago about the blog of a 19 year old girl with
cancer. She was inspirational as all get out. Well, turns out the whole
thing is a huge, multiyear hoax by Deb, the mother of the fictitious
kaycee. I feel sorry for the people, like vanderwoning who designed her
site and really got personally involved in kaycee’s life. Here’s his story about kaycee I found. Deb was apparently trying to give people with cancer hope. I wonder if she really did the opposite in the end.
