In Greenwich Village, Molly, an eleven-month old cat, was rescued from the crawlspace where she'd been trapped for about 2 weeks (read more here). At times like these I just love humanity.

CHUM, a Canadian media conglomerate, is making a TV series called "Blood Ties" from Tanya Huff's Blood novels featuring Vicky Nelson, a private investigator and Henry Fitzroy, vampire and bastard son of Henry VIII (read more here). I have read and enjoyed the books and what intrigues me is that like Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Comte de Saint-Germain, Henry Fitzroy actually existed and suffered from a mysterious end. I can just imagine other writers who would like an historical vampire scouring history books and googling for the perfect person to be "vampired" *g*.

I read in yesterday's New York Times about a new poem form using the Fibonacci number sequence invented by a man named Gregory K. Pincus. In honor of being in the Times he wrote:

Mom?
Mom?
WAKE UP!
Fibs are fab!
Open the paper:
Your son is in the New York Times!

I'm no poet but I might try to write a "fib" one day. I just thought I'd post the story in case there are some poets out there.
