...victim, now 23 years old, has denied she is in the video. However, prosecutors are expected to call to the witness stand several people, including the alleged victim's relatives, to identify her as the person in the video and establish that she was a minor. In another strange twist, the Chicago Sun-Times reported last weekend that prosecutors will also call to the witness stand a woman who claims to have engaged in ménages a trois with Kelly and the alleged victim.

A few lucky listeners had even become privy to my newest conception...
...have forged ahead, however, talked to restaurateurs in what must be the hundreds, and now press closer (hopefully, someday, maybe) to securing a job for the now too-near future, my confidence in my own strange road is budding. It is odd, but exciting. A new twist. Refreshing. Kind of like a ham and cheese wrap-roll-up-sandwich on your last day in Barcelona...
