Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Changing text perceptions: Gone With the Wind, and Ashley Wilkes. First read, at age 12, I thought he was a romantic, tragic figure.

I have The Magic Garden on VHS, but I don't have a VCR anymore.

Here's a little insight into Matilda's devious little mindset...
Matilda: Daddy! Mommy is not a good mommy because she won't let me play [Drench]!

Sadly, it'll probably be 2012 before I can get out to SF. Not-so-sadly, because I'm going to France in October!
But I'll gladly mail you my Magic Garden tapes. It's time they got watched again.
