Not much to report this morning… Vague dream memories. Sensations of filtered rosy light, ease and comfort. I didn’t want to get out of bed, but one does what one must.
I want some of those Incredibles toys from McDonalds… but they’re made in China, and it’s McDonalds. Bah.
Maybe I’ll get to go to the Miami Book Fair international next year… last year, surgery, this year, on call. I may have to be very careful for next go ’round! Thank goodness for CSPAN2/bookTV.
Note to Mr. 5… See to it that Mr. 11 doesn’t make it to that fence. Don’t use your sidearm unless you have to. Civilian casualties will not be tolerated.
I’m worth $2,462,263.20! How much are you worth?
Hm. They must go by volume.

N.H. couple charged with trying to sacrifice children
A New Hampshire woman and her boyfriend were in jail yesterday on charges they forced their way into a Rochester church in a bizarre attempt to sacrifice her three children on the altar.
“Eighteen years I’ve been doing this,” police Lt. Paul Callaghan said yesterday, “and I’ve never come across anything like it.”
Police received a 911 call shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday from the staff at St. Mary’s Church on Lowell Street, where Nicole Mancini, 29, of Farmington and John Thurber, 35, of Rochester took the three boys, Callaghan said.
Mancini and the two youngest, ages 2 and 7, were in their pajamas, he said, and she was “kind of delusional. . . . The church staff told us she wanted to sacrifice the middle child by 3 o’clock.”
Detectives later found out the couple ultimately planned to sacrifice all three children, and already had gone to a Farmington church with that intent but had been unable to get in, Callaghan said.
No weapon was found, he said, and police are investigating the motive.
The three children were turned over to the Department of Children, Youth and Families, and remained in state custody yesterday. The couple were arrested without incident, and each was charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Thurber, the 2-year-old’s father, also was charged with marijuana possession.
