So Paula Zahn is having a show tonight re disabled children who were sent away to institutions as young children. I know that there isn't anything I'll learn from watching it, but I can feel myself getting sucked in.

Coincidentally, I'm reading Count Us In (Mitchell Levitz and Jason Kingsley). Some nice well-meaning person sent me a copy of "Welcome to Holland," which is by Jason Kingsley's mother (whom I correctly infered to be a member of the tribe), and then made the mistake of asking whether I liked it or not, which meant she got treated to the Extended Play version of my take on it. Which, of course, finds me riding the fence.
