Okay, I'll keep looking for "Sinbad and Me" by Kin Platt in something less than a $300 first edition. That's the new (ongoing) quest.
I love that book! It turned me on to architecture!

Many Happies, Katie Bee!!
That con does sound like it could be just what P-C needs. At least, if he goes to it, his family will think he's serious about settling down. Besides, it sounds like a lot of the Indian women are very Americanized, too. P-C could have his cake and so could his mother.
Still sending ~ma to Bev, Tom and JZ. Has anyone heard anything more about Tom's kidney stone? I don't keep up in Natter, so I'm not up to date there.

I got to Ginger's link without registering.
I hope that means the AJC has stopped being really annoying with the registration thing. I have their cookie stored, so I didn't see a change.
askye, I hope there's an inexpensive but cool frame out there that your lenses will fit in.
Also,
Happy Birthday, Katie B!

Happy Birthday, Katie Bee!
My dad cracks me up. I just sent him an e-mail asking him for advice about some money stuff (things I want/need for the new apartment). Here I'm trying to save money and be responsible, and he suggests that I may want to eventually move the table I brought for the dining room into the kitchen (instead of buying a $99 little kitchen table from Ikea) and buy a nice dining room table and chairs. Yeah, that'd be nice IF I WAS MADE OF MONEY! Silly dad.

nice dining room table and chairs are the dream... I still don't have the cash for them myself...
We got the IKEA catalog yesterday- so exciting!

He's so funny about stuff. I had to convince him that a $200 air conditioner (that my DOCTORS RECOMMENDED) was a good idea, but my new computer was a MUST HAVE. I think he's off on some of this stuff.

Me TOO! And codes, and cyphers and the very first book I read as a kid that featured another kid in a wheelchair. (A very cool character) Widow's walks, hospitality pineapples, dubloons. So much great stuff.
About 10 years ago, after my endless whinging about this awesome book going out of print, an old boyfriend called Kin Platt at home to ask about finding a copy. Kin was not amused. I still have no book!

That's the kid with the memory, right?

Right. Kin emphasized that "Herc's" power came, not from his body, but from his mind. Everyone wanted him on their team because he knew everything.
