We shall never mention age again.
And shall live as children of Summer.
Time is only night and day.
And tomorrow is forever.

GOOD JUDGEMENT
I once judged a book by it's cover and REALLY liked that book.
Good judgement.
Good cover.
Good book.
The book was A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY by John Irving. I found it in a thrift store. I put it on a bookshelf and forgot about it. Then a couple years later I noticed another cool book cover at a yard sale. I bought that book and was putting it on the bookshelf and realized it was the same title as my thrift store find. I assumed the universe wanted me to read it and so I began.
I loaned a copy to my sister and we would discuss what we had read from time to time. I realized that I actually loved the characters and the story so much that I slowed the process of reading it down so that it would last longer. Sometimes I would reread chapters so that the story would not come to an end. It finally did,... a year later.
The 1998 feature-length film "Simon Birch", directed by Mark Steven Johnson, was loosely based on the novel. That was a terrible movie. I'd have to say it may be better to judge a book by it's cover than to judge a book by it's movie.
Good judgement.

Charlotte ELVISFEST 5/8/2010
Charlotte ELVISFEST was this past Saturday Night at Puckett's Farm Equipment. Enjoyed some good music,... Ritchie Mars & the Big Dipper, Kelley and the Cowboys, Diamond Jem and the Ace, The Defilers, The Tremors and JT and the Dragpipes. The usual rockabilly crowd was there all greased up and tattooed. Some of Puckett's regulars were there and THANKFULLY the Mayor of Derita kept his shirt on. Many other familiar AND new faces also attended and danced and laughed and sang along and drank and cussed and listened and smoked and enjoyed themselves. A good number of tickets sold- Hopefully enough that there WILL BE a SECOND ANNUAL Charlotte ELVISFEST and it will SELL OUT!
