My dad loved those books and had the whole collection, which he had licked up in dribs and drabs from my mom's used bookstore over the years. My mom gave them to my uncle when my dad died and it was a real pleasure to see the tattered non-matchy collection of paperbacks displayed prominently amongst the leather-tooled legal tomes in my uncle's living room when we visited last summer.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just finished the first story in Blackbird House and it did what Alice Hoffman stories used to always do -- bring me to tears.
I think I'm going to have to reread before I go to the next one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
This is why I love the library:
I was picking up some stuff at the library today, when I noticed the librarian had a stack of kids' books that had been returned, which she was checking in.
On the top was From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, which prompted me to say "Oh, I love that book!" She replied with "I know! Have you seen the movie?" I told her I had no idea that it had been made into a movie, and she said oh yes, it had, with Lauren Bacall.
I said I'd have to look for it, and she said "Do you want me to see if it's in the library system?" I said sure, and lo and behold, it was not only in the library system, but in that very branch. And so I have it at home, waiting to be watched.
So cool.

Few. My laziness lost and I looked it up on IMDB.
Devon Gummersall is Krakow.
Devon Odessa is Sharon.
