Dear Readers, you may notice the dates of the Blog do not match the Flash Post dates which are in real time. The blog was written in 2009 and saw the light of day 6 months back when my younger daughter discovered it and decided to bring it to you here.
January 2. “I persuaded my mom to go back tomorrow instead of tonight. She declined at first but then agreed. Sweet of her, na?”

January 2. “I persuaded my mom to go back tomorrow instead of tonight. She declined at first but then agreed. Sweet of her, na?”

“Yes.”

“Have you heard of Van Gogh, Button, and why he cut off his ear?”

“Never heard of him.”

“He was a famous 18th century Dutch painter and, a scholar who researched his life, has found evidence that a distraught Vincent Van Gogh slashed his ear after learning that his brother, Theo, on whom he depended financially and emotionally, was about to get married.”

”That’s weird. Where do you get these snippets from?”

“Obviously from newspapers and other stuff I read. I am told I have an eye for the absurd.”

“Honestly, some are really funny and bizarre.”
