Anybody read any Colson Whitehead?
The Buffista Book Club did The Intuitionist one month, and I really liked it.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ooh, first quarter-century? It's been a while. Love the title.

This is wigging me out and I have to share:
Teller of Penn & Teller, prop comedian Carrot Top and Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline and the Sandman series, will all step up to the stage

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool, new thread!
ION, my cat blocked ita. Who is now unblocked.
I'll have to give my cat a talking-to.

Er...I'm scared to click on that link just because you mention Carrot Top. But...is Neil Gaiman going to be around at the same TIME as Teller and Carrot Top? Has anyone warned him that this seems like a REALLY BAD IDEA? and that he should run FAR AWAY?
the signs on all of the cases actually read, "Short-Haired Hamster, Male" and "Dwarf Hamster, Male," or whatever. Rats, guinea pigs, gerbils, every sign said male.
Oh, I bet it's just a lie then. Make all the parents not worry about the pets having babies.

That's how it sounds to me, meara, like they will all be on the same stage. I think that the link is actually safe and that's the only mention of Carrot Top. No pictures.

Does anyone else find it ironic that on the 40th anniversary of landing on the moon, astronauts spent the day fixing the toilet on the space station?

Woohoo, wireless internet in podunk airports. My god, it is early.
My bag is checked all the way through to my final destination. I won't see it again until about 20 hours from now.

Bon voyage, Dana! I hope you're motivated to give us some Trip Report later on.
