Road ramblings
Went through Winslow, AZ. Alas, no flatbed Fords, let alone girls, my lord… slowing down to take a look at me. Then again, I’d really rather a cute young cowboy was doing the slowing down. Of course, knowing me, I’d assume he was checking out Dark Star, not me. :) Traveling through southwest Texas, I…
Were Jesus & Mary Magdalene really married? (II of VII)

How about a little respect, please?
Okay, time for more venting and dissertation blues. Haul out the tiny violins, please, and also everyone get ready to sing along with Arethra Franklin singing her wonderful “Respect”… Whew! Always love good, passionate music. So, now that we all feel better for that, let me get into my grumpy pants again. This log is…
Thanks so much to you both! I’m so thrilled it’s finally all done, completed, and uploaded — WHEW! :)
Also, Ms. M, fair warning: the Methodology is probably skippable, while the Lit Review will be of interest mostly if you’re looking for other similar-subject books to read. The Intro, the actual research chapter, and the Conclusion, though, I hope will be fun and/or intriguing! :-D
Yowza! Fabulous news. I’ve already started to read it and look forward to future convos. Cheers!
Congratulations!
