"Cryokid" Book Signing on Sunday Next in West LA

My early life was as an Archaeologist/Anthropologist, so I enjoy family in all it's definitions...even tho' I have no children of my own...(and recommend against!).

 

Janet Spiegel is a business associate and the subject of the book is Janet's daughter, who is a "Cryokid" (product of sperm bank).

 

The author is the "Cryokid"'s grandmother, Corrine!

 

That makes it pretty cool, except the sperm donor himself is also quoted which is what makes it unusual...see you there!

In support of "How Many Non-Believers" - an LA Brights letter to the LA Times.

Dear LA Brights:
Writing letters.
It's one of "our things" (*Cosas Nostra!)

Here's the template for an effective Letter to the Times (or anywhere else):

Took their piece and showed I had read it (we concur).
Made my own point altogether (morality vs. religion) and I'll hope
that's enough to catch their eye and get us into the paper.

I've introduced another whole topic, therefore a newsworthy subject
unto itself and fun speculation for them.

Pick your own "twist" and scribe away...the LA Times editors may be
reached at letters@latimes.com.

Here's the story:

Here's my letter (I did use the BRIGHTS tag this time. Seemed appropriate.)

Dear Editor, LA TIMES:
Members of The Los Angeles BRIGHTS ("Reality Now!") were raised in all
manner of households: Hindu, Catholic, Jewish, Evangelical,
others...even Atheist).

We concur that those who don't believe are significantly undercounted.

The general population is beginning to realize that morality stems
from being human, not from being religious.

Religion cannot impose morality upon one's personality, you either
were born with a conscience or you weren't!

There are many ways to live a good life, be a good person, and a
positive social contributor and not be affiliated with religion
whatsoever.

Another good reason not to do exercise...
