Bits and pieces

[kitanzi]

I wish for peace. I think it should go without saying, but apparently it doesn't. (Having said that, I don't think we're going to have it for quite a while, and I'm sick at heart.)

I've seen many posts today about the war scheduled to start tomorrow. Most have been very thoughtful, very heartfelt, very passionate and very moving. I haven't agreed unreservedly with all of them, but I do belive that they have all been people doing what they can in a bad situation to try and make that situation more tolerable for themselves by trying to come to grips with what's shaping up to be an interminable nightmare. Having said that, some of them resonate with me a lot more than others - to any one else suffering from an overdose of helpless horror, may I suggest a couple of lovely entries today from ladysprite here and browngirl here?

On a much lighter note, remember when I was griping about callers who thought I was Liverson, or even Eureka? I have to swallow a few bites of crow there - I just had a caller who said her name is, in fact, Eureka. It's a real name, at least somewhere. I suppose I should count my blessings! (Google, and all baby name sites through Google, still refuse to admit Liverson could be a real first name, so I'll stand by that one!).

Other than to say that you were absolutely right about ladysprite's entry and that
browngirl's question was an excellent one, I think I'll just crawl under my rock and
see what tomorrow (and the day after, and the week after, and the month after...)
will bring. :(

BTW, did you know that both eureka and your first name are real Grssk words? :)

Yep, I did know that - in fact, I found from a tour book ages ago how to write my name in Greek characters. Of course, depending on what baby name book you check, it's also Russian, so go figure.
