Christina Haag's Book

We keep checking and the last info was that Christina's book entitled "Come to the edge: A Memoir of Romance" won't be available until May 2010 - although different dates are listed all over the internet.

Rumor has it, she will talk about the first kiss she shared with John. : /

I'll post more information here and on the news section of the website when it comes available.

'Pirates' yields a haunting tale from the deep

One artifact seems out of place in the Field Museum's big "Pirates" exhibit.

A plastic compass, with a white nylon cord, lies in state in a glass case. The curio is located in a gallery devoted to the conservation of artifacts salvaged from the not-so-good ship Whydah. The pirate vessel sank off the coat of Cape Cod in 1717.

According to treasure-hunter Barry Clifford, who located the wreck in 1984, the compass belonged to John Kennedy Jr. The dashing young Kennedy not only invested in the expedition, he was an original member of the search team.

During a 1982 dive, JFK Jr. and a teammate reported spying cannons on the ocean floor. Colleagues descended to the site, but shifting sands impeded their search John Jr." lost his compass during the '82 expedition," Ballard said.


Clifford and his crew eventually found the Whydah buried under 30 feet of sand. But the mysterious cannons remained elusive. Kennedy, who remained interested in the recovery, died in a plane crash en route to Cape Cod in 1999.

Two years ago -- 25 years after Kennedy's initial report -- Clifford's dive team discovered a stack of 15 cannons welded together by rock, sand and clay. Suspended by its string from the pile was a 20th century compass.

So JFK Jr. really did spot the cannons, Clifford said. No one can deny the evidence. "The compass is inscribed with his initials," he said.

Can you "fill" a decade?

It crossed my mind today that in a few short months ten years will have passed since John's plane accident. It really doesn't seem that much time has passed. After the initial thought I found myself going back over all the years and searching for big events that have taken place to fill the gap of a decade. They failed me. I could not place enough memories in the past ten years to try and make it feel that indeed that much time has gone.

I wonder how many other people will shake their heads when the 10th Anniversary is finally here and ask themselves "Where has all the time gone?"

Has it really been that long....

..they'll say anything

Remember this? David Heymann's book, and all the silly things in the book? Here's a glimpse into the past for those of you who are like me and never bought the book.

Thanks Alex!
