Unconditional Love
Stories of unconditional love between parents and children, and how hard love can be sometimes in daily practice.
Prologue. Hard as it is to believe, during the early twentieth century, a whole school of mental health professionals decided that unconditional love was a terrible thing to give a child. The government printed pamphlets warning mothers against the dangers of holding their kids. The head of the American Psychological Association and even a mothers' organization endorsed the position that mothers were dangerous – until psychologist Harry Harlow set out to prove them wrong, with a series of experiments with monkeys. Ira talks with Deborah Blum, author of Love at Goon Park, a biography of Harlow.
Act One. Love is a Battlefield. Alix Spiegel tells the story of a couple, Heidi and Rick Solomon, who adopt a son who was raised in terrible circumstances in a Romanian orphanage, unable to feel attachments to anyone, and what they do about it.
Song: "Loveless Town," Sarah Blust
Act Two. Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Dave Royko talks about the decision he and his wife faced recently about his autistic son's future, and whether he should continue to live with the family.
Song: "I Wanna Be Loved," Buju Banton

There once was a hippo named Zippo
Who met an armadillo named Brillo
They seemed sort of odd, but were like two peas in a pod
And that is how the lot of us got a tattoo on our potamus
I adore my friend, Jonathan.
I was looking at Halloween costumes (parrot) online at buycostumes.com when in the little box to the side of "You May Also Like" I saw this picture. What??? I realized shortly after starting this blog that you might get really hot under the costume so this would be to keep cool. Still...

We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes"
Two- not as many people use it in my office. Enough said.
Three - Because of reason number two there is almost never a shortage of toilet paper. Lovely!

I think of myself as an eclectic mix of life trying to balance all forces within my soul. If you were to see my treasured possessions you would better understand me. I also enjoy soup, midnight drives, and vanilla Coca Cola.
