So sorry that I’ve been gone so long. The iron grip of my education.
@Blymie Wonderful quote from Sendak. "Not didactic things, but passionate things. That’s most of the problem with a lot of what’s written for young people, especially in “middle-grades reading”, I’ve noticed. The other part of the problem is that publishers have encouraged us to categorize books by grade level.
muffled laughter What an…awkward…thing to happen to you when on live television! Poor man looked terribly embarrassed.I just love those big cuddly snakes, though. Even when they get a bit too cuddly…
I wish I had more than one avenue of communication with you and other friends here. I do have an email, but I’m not sure how I would go about sharing it—I’m sorry, but I’m not exactly keen to post it where absolutely anybody who passes this way can see. It’s a dilemma.
@Blymie (Leonora):~LSOS and Endtown. That would be…interesting. :) Mostly because Lost Side depends so much on the natural world, and Endtown has no natural world to speak of. I haven’t been following Endtown lately, I should go get caught up, because it was getting really gripping…~I loved seeing Blyme greet you. I swear I could hear exactly how he would say the words. Rallester really didn’t deserve what happened to him (blech, the awfully funny memory), but it was a tad inevitable.~I did have an idea that mine might be Discworld related, because he and I talked about the books some, but I had no clue other than that simple possibility. It was a wonderful surprise.~Well, I always appreciate your thoughts on anything, Blymie. It’s nice to be talking to you again. Happy Holidays!
My new Mini hates Gocomics, so here I am on my laptop…I really don’t get on well with electronics…Kzin: I'm reading one of my "adoptees" right now...and it's a Christmas story, too. Happy Birthday. :)@Blymie: It's wonderful! So nice to see old Phintesmo B. doff his hat to his biggest fan! (Your name's Leonora? That's really neat! :D)<b>My picture just arrived too. I'm taking it to get framed soon.Find it here:sijepuis.deviantart.com/art/Ook-574866610^^ Love it.<b>(Blymie: I’m Julia, by the way. Just thought I’d let you know, since I know your name now, and we’ve known each other for this long…er…virtual handshake :) I’m an Ox. )………grabs carton of Drive-By Fruiting
