OpenID–it’s ba-ack!
Thanks to Mark Paschal (the author of OpenID Comments for MT), OpenID is back. I'll probably never know why Brian's OpenID stopped working--my guess is that it's just borked--but the LJ account I was using to test was missing a piece in the database. If you can't log...

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives.
