what is it good for?

Monday, March 24, 2008

I bought Tom a 69-cent bag of plastic army guys for an art project he's working on. (Specifically, a bag of TEAM XTREME SOLDIERS for ages 4 and up--WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD.)

We were pleased to note that today's war toys reflect reality.

Where is the blog comment function that allows me to sing along with that song? Somehow just typing, "Uh...Uh..War...what is it good for?" doesn't translate. :)

Hello and welcome to my website and blog.

My name is Sophia Dembling (Sophia with a long i) but you can call me Sophie if you want. I'm an award-winning writer in Dallas, Texas. That's right. Award-winning.

I write about lots of stuff, primarily travel, psychology and health because those are topics I like best. My main blog these days is Flyover America and you should check it out. It's all about seeing our Glorious 50 and I write it with Jenna Schnuer and Matt Villano.

On other pages of this site, you'll find stories, columns, photos and more. I'm not the blogger here I once was--the days of daily ruminations are past. But I will turn up now and then with a pithy thought. And rummage around the back catalog. Great stuff there.

Just remember: Everything on this site is protected by copyright. If you see something you like, send me an email. Everything is for sale.
