Some links I think you’ll find helpful
and/or enjoyable –

, Paul Johnson retells “The Gift of the Magi,” O. Henry’s classic tale of intentions gone awry. In his modern adaptation, set in today’s sans serif headline type, the Republicans mug John Q. Public in an alley and steal his Rolex, which they then pawn in order to buy him a shiny, silver-plated watch chain. Later that same evening, the Democrats sneak up on our feckless hero and shave his head as he sleeps, then sell his curly locks to a Iraqi wigmaker for enough shekels to buy him a Taiwanese faux-tortoiseshell hairbrush set.http://capefearwebs.com , where you'll find the insights, interests and performance schedule of Captain Eric Bruton, an increasingly recognized and respected regional folk musician
