I think Fred first brought this abomination to my attention. It has stayed seared into my memory years later.

If I had a hammer indeed.

I'm up, I'm up - rough night - was up at six after two hours of sleep, back to bed around seven-thirty and asleep soon thereafter, so, certainly nine hours of sleep.

I walked to the park early this morning for a bird walk with a ranger. I didn't take my camera. Of course, there would have been a few really great shots if I had.

How's Thatch doing? Is he still hiding? I hope it was just the construction noise bothering him.

Somehow they managed to turn off the monitor. I wonder if that means they really are going to release her tonight.

The day after a competition is always a low. I feel really enervated. Hope to be back to form tomorrow.

I just spent a few solid hours sorting through piles and threw out about 40 pounds of stuff. That felt good!

If only it weren't just a drop in the bucket.

I'm juggling too many books at the moment. Hope to finish a few while on vacation.

The most intriguing is Read Dangerously from Azar Nafisi, the woman who wrote Reading Lolita in Tehran. It's written as a series of letters to her dead father about favorite "dangerous" books that she has read. The first is The Satanic Verses. Hard to believe that controversy is now more than 30 years in the past.

I am watching The Real McCoys ---- Walter Brennan's character is really a bully and very hard to take.  I think that's why I stopped watching even though my family liked it.....I think it was on Thursday evenings.....

Wow.  It is a good thing she lives in the US.
