Brian D. Sweeney, 2007


September 2006--as a participant in the 2996 project--I was assigned the privilege of memorializing Brian D. Sweeney, a passenger on United Flight 175.

Of Viking Heart was written in tribute to a man I never met but came to know only by his passing, through the voices of his friends and family.

Today, I will think of those he left behind much too soon and their loss that never ends.

And I'll think of Brian,
38, who claimed to be part Viking and part Leonardo da Vinci.

We will never forget.

Revisiting Ted Bundy

"...generations of the American people have surged through the Preamble's portal and widened its gate. Like constitutions, amendments are not just words, but deeds--flesh and blood struggles to redeem America's promise while making amends for some of the sins of our fathers."

Political Endurance Blogs

"The political blogs that may be the “best” of all, the most controversial, homespun, animated, original, creative and downright emotional spill from the 365-day-a-year bloggers. In this subdivision live blogs where big doses of commonsense social commentary are laced with searing political rants. Many are punctuated with posts on personal daily anecdotes, tragic and celebratory, virally propagated YouTube videos, and other miscellaneous content like a favorite recipe, baby and pet photos, and the general political-social sandwich which is daily life—take United States of Motherhood, for example. Blog traffic matters less here, up, down, or all around, many sites are enviable simply for their endurance and “balls-to-the-walls” earnestness: who cares who stops by, I’m speaking my mind regardless. If you’re ever in this neighborhood trip out on one of these popular and creative reads: Little Green Footballs, Smashed Frog and Betsy’s Page."
