Dallas elects Lupe Valdez as sheriff - an openly gay Hispanic woman. It's a ray of sunshine in a dark world.

The cover of the Chronicle this week - scary and strange pop culture reference anyone? My jaw dropped when I saw this today. In case you have trouble reading the text on the front: "After the horn of a unicorn is broken, darkness and winter descend upon the world." Legendary, isn't it?

My therapist has me drawing out major events of my life on posterboard with colored pencils. It's a little weird, but I'm humoring her.

I had no idea John Edwards was 51! He looks like he's in his thirties.

I worry that Arafat is dying, and that his death will further contribute to chaos and misery in the Middle East. So much of the world worries me.

Heh... When Edwards ran for senate in '98, there was an initial flurry of disbelief that he was 44/45 at the time. There were jokes, rumors, front pages in the alt-weeklies bearing headlines like "Johnny Boy: the grown-uppest 12-year-old trial lawyer ever (and his wife ain't bad, either)," and his opponent Lauch Faircloth making a huge deal out of JE's youth and inexperience (Faircloth was near 70 at the time).

So weird! I have got to stop crushing on men old enough to be my dad.
