The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

I didn't know who Margaret Laurence was so I checked her on wikipedia:
Born in Neepawa, Manitoba, Laurence was the daughter of solicitor Robert Wemyss and Verna Jean Simpson. Following the death of her mother when Laurence was four, Margaret Simpson, a maternal aunt, came to take care of the family. A year later, Simpson married her father and in 1933 they had a son, Robert. In 1935, Robert Wemyss Sr. died of pneumonia.
Check out the totally confusing sentence about someone marrying their own father. Ha- that's what it sounds like, right?
your right. that sounds like someone married their dad. but i guess margaret simpson married margaret laurence's dad.
Great quote, but it wouldn't hold up in a Disney movie.
P.S. Wrong your/you're in the above comment.
gosh dang sarah. good call. that's embarrassing. thanks for learning me to talk gooder.
