Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I do get a tad pushy on this subject, I know. I don't mean to browbeat; I just can't seem to help myself on this one. You should do whatever works best for you, Beej. If the free alternative works, great! If not, don't beat yourself up over it.

If you do want to use your library, Beej, I see that the DC Public Library uses the same catalog as we do, and I'd be happy to help. I have some tips for how to get a listing of all of the items in the format you want, such as DVDs, CDs or tapes.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hey Jesse, I mentioned this last night, but I was at a wedding literally around the corner from your old apartment this weekend! I felt all cool because I knew where the good bagel place was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

libkitty, I am just a library patron, but I feel free to go on and on to all and sundry about the amazements of the library. Free video rental, free books to read, all kinds of free stuff! LOVE IT. I was just trying to get my grandmother to see if there are any programs she'd be interested in at our local library, since she can't drive all the way out to the fancy suburb where she'd been taking classes at a senior center anymore.

That's so funny, Kate! Where was it?

You are not just a library patron, Jesse. You are a library patron!

Hee! I just mean I have no professional obligation to promote library usage. It's more an avocation.

Yes please!

I can't even see how to get a card on the DC site. Lord. I'm useless today.

And BTW, I didn't feel pushed at all. Oh contrare (phonetic). I appreciate the reminder of the great resources that surround me.

Church of the Ascension. I had the address written down, and then I printed out the info I had gathered when I came to New York for the Nillyfest in August, which had directions to your old apartment on it, and I looked at it and thought, "wait, that looks familiar..."

Of course, at the same time, I was in Somerville doing family stuff, and kept thinking I might run into a Buffista there!

Heh. Wasn't it just today in Bitches, someone was asking if there was a word that meant an xpost, but in real life? I think that might qualify.
