Mr. Cash, the man in black. He was a whirlwind in a thorn tree.

I had plans to post a bit about 9-11-01 and what I was doing then. I had thoughts about continuing some previous topics.

Warren Zevon finally succumbed to the cancer that he was diagnosed with just over a year ago. His final album, "The Wind" has just been released. The excerpts I have heard have been excellent.
The LA Times obit states:
Zevon died Sunday afternoon at his home in Los Angeles, according to his manager Irving Azoff, who said that the singer had been "very upbeat" in the past week due to the success of his new album and the recent birth of twin grandchildren. "He was in a good place."
According to an interview with VH-1, Zevon considered himself Christian, and credited writer Graham Greene with some influence.

I don't seem to get the same weird search terms that some others do, but here are a few that have ended up at Fructus Ventris.
catholic teaching on ectopic pregnancies, female saints, "Meyers Brigg" INTP, entopic pregnancy, thirty friends, crisis magazine,midwife outfit, mercury poisining, "epidural before labor", killer sharks, circumcision 8th day, "Multitudes are marching", death bed conversions, characteristics of introverted people, "being a midwife"
One could almost make a poem of this.
Entopic pregnancy, BTW, is a pregnancy in the right place (as opposed to ectopic, out of place).
