So if you're reading this on Saturday March 24, 2007, you lose! Or something. Of course, it's after midnight on Friday March 23, 2007 so technically, I'm not participating properly either. Of course, I'm too much of an addict rebel to go along with any set day like this anyhow. Actually, that's not so far […]
The woman who teaches the course, Sally Elliott, gets raves from everybody we talk to so I'm pretty excited. Plus I'll find out if reading “The Poo Bomb” is sufficient preparation for having a child.
Bush's wife is a librarian for anybody who doesn't know. (Now if she could just teach him to pronounce “eclectic”…)Oh, and I'm tagging this with “humour” but really, it's about as far from funny as it gets.

“Why don't you look it up on DiggieFilter?” – my mother-in-law talking about the web site I mention all the time on my blog.
Here's a goofy idea I had for a fun (yet embarrassing) entry… I've been going to public libraries since I was a kid.
