Riding bikes 'til we
Got lost on Ivy Hill Road.
Cross-walk got us home.

Crispy-chilled mornings.
Sleeper-sofa cushion-forts.
Fall days grow shorter.

We caught a pond-frog,
But it died in a shoebox,
Unfortunately.

FALCON'S (Non) FLIGHT, WRAP UP

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy





[Falcon's (Non) Flight]


The Perfect Story.

Fear. Horror. Fantasy. Dread.

Age 6: Falcon's Flight.


Publicity stunt?

maybe. maybe not. Surely

someone could have told


the world the basket

had detached, long before the

news networks streamed it


right into our homes.

there went 2 hours of tv

viewing, watching an


oversized mylar

helium ballon floating

through space. "Child on Board."


Someone could have told

the news, the authorities,

could have told the world:


"Nobody's on board."

But ratings would not have spiked.

Dad's new invention


wouldn't have gotten

2 hours of tv viewing.

so nothing was said


but, "Falcon's On Board!"

"6-Year-Old Balloon Boy Flies!"

Is this cynical?


Yes. No. Maybe. Sure.

Nothing like a good cliche:

"All's well that ends well."


From child in danger,

to runaway UFO,

To Happy Ending,


The infotainment

machine got it's prayer's answered:

The Perfect Story.




We're so thankful 6 year-old Falcon was found to have never left the ground today

and is with his family tonight, safe and sound.


FALCON TO DO TALK SHOW CIRCUIT

a given.

FALCON LIVES!



It is now reported that Falcon has been found alive. Great news. Great roller-coaster of a story. He was hiding out in a "box in the attic, over the garage," according to CNN.


Falcon Missing





This has been an upsetting and bizarre story about a 6 year-old boy named Falcon. I've never before live-photo-blogged a developing story and don't have plans to do it again. Viewers were led to believe that Falcon was inside the "basket," which was presumed to be the small, bottom portion of the balloon.

Once the balloon landed, a freakish moment ensued when authorities and police lassoed, slashed, stomped and stabbed the helium-life out of the mylar balloon.

Currently, CNN is reporting that the "basket" had actually fallen off the balloon long before the television coverage began. Now they are showing a photograph on CNN that shows something, presumably the basket, far below the mylar balloon. It seems to be a photograph, or a still-shot from a film camera, showing the basket detaching and falling from the balloon.

If this is in fact the case, this doesn't bode well for young Falcon. We'll continue to follow this ever-changing, difficult story and remain hopeful that Falcon will be found alive and well.

"i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second.

"i think i'm old and i'm in pain" you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second

sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at
the edge of the world like i'm living at the edge
of the world "it's just the way i smile" you said

All Is Full Of Love


"All Is Full Of Love," by Bjork

You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it

Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at

Twist your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you

All is full of love
You just ain't receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love!
be the little angel

All is full of love, all is full of love
All is full of love, all is full of love ...

Where I End And You Begin




There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin

And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin

I'm up in the clouds
I'm up in the clouds
And I can't and I can't come down

I can watch and not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone

X'll mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

and There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

and There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

and There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

Weird Fishes




In the deepest ocean
Bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should i stay here?
Why should i stay?
I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead

Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom to escape
Escape
