I was looking for something else at Wikipedia today and their “featured article” was on my favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird. It was very interesting and I learned things I did not know before.
Last night was one of the the worst sleepless nights I've had in a very long time. I'm still having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that a mockingbird kept me up all night. Yes, a bird. Poor bird. Perhaps he has his days and nights mixed up. My guess is that the moon's brightness is causing him to sing me sweet lullabies all night long. Whatever the case, he nearly drove Crac
Today while I was in the break room on lunch I was frowning and trying to write bad fiction. Well, I wasn’t trying to write BAD fiction, I was trying to write fiction in general, it just happens to be bad.
Anyway….while I was writing and frowning someone wandered by and ordered me to write [...]
Yesterday I listened to the happiest mockingbird in creation. Perched on a limb in a spring time maple tree, he cast a spell on his audience below. We listened to song after song until he wearied of all the applause and left the stage. In a few moments he came back for [...]

Over the weekend, my family & I had dinner at Tequila Mockingbird in New Canaan, CT. This restaurant focuses on Mexican food and is a fun place for a night out with the kids.
You have to love this restaurant just for its name. I am sure that I am stating the obvious but it is a twist on "To Kill a Mockingbird".
Their food is good (but not great). The atmosphere is fun & the service is very
Charles J. Shields got off to a slow start in Mockingbird but readers who suffered through the rather mind-numbing first chapter were rewarded with an intriguing Nelle Harper Lee biography that got stronger and stronger as each chapter unfolded. Shields managed to give insights into Harper Lee, the woman, despite the fact that her public life and career have been limited to relatively few milestones, events that her admirers find interesting even today.Nelle grew up in the small Alabama town of Monroeville where she was much like the tomboyish character Scout who was the central figure in her masterpiece To Kill a Mockingbird. After high school she went on to Huntingdon College and, under pressure from her father, later studied law at the University of Alabama but did not graduate. Nelle was determined to become a writer and left law school to move to New York so that she could concentrate on that.The events that define the public Harper Lee all started to happen around 1960 and the
Natures greatest song impersonator...

Bobbi Morse, MockingbirdFirst appearance: Astonishing Tales #6, June 1971Current status: deadWas subjected to the following act of discrimination: at the end of West Coast Avengers in 1993, where she'd been a longtime member, she was shot in the back and murdered by Mephisto. Hawkeye/Clint Barton, her husband for several years, became a widower.What's wrong with how this was done? Yet another pointless offing of a female character, and what really made it bombastic was that, as far as I know, Mephisto had never been interested in actually killing anyone before. Put another way, it wasn't like him to try and take anyone's life for real.Since then, there's been one story in which she turned up as a corpse in a plot conceived by the Grim Reaper to destroy the Avengers. Yet, she remains dead, with no clear way to tell if she'll ever be revived to full life again or not.
