BN didn't have what I needed last night. I'll have to check out the local independent bookstore - they always have looooooooots of periodicals. I'm looking for the
June edition of this magazine because one of my college friends made her publishing debut with the story "Burgerdroid." It should be grand! Ms. Felicity Shoulders, you win!
Homework's done for class tonight. I have a short 1:30 meeting followed by a short 2:00 meeting.
Class at 4:30, going out with the girls afterwards for the first time. I'm excited and apprehensive
but most of all I want to go home, have a cup of tea, and take a nap.
I will avoid further blogging because I don't want to talk about politics today.
And that's what's on my mind right now.
Halfway through this book. There's been some amazing literature written about the Holocaust. I'm not sure how I'm going to rank this one yet, but it is powerful and moving. Might I suggest for children
Daniel's Story. For grown-ups, perhaps some
Viktor Frankl,
Jan Gross, or Elie Wiesel. Some Wiesel's good for kids too.

When I visited the National Halocaust Museum in DC a few years ago, they had an exhibit based on Daniel's Story. I'm not sure if it was permanent or not but it was a fantastic exhibit.
Congratulations to your friend!
Fantastic stuff you are reading have a good week. Judi
Dear Emily,
We're (almost) twin blogs. I've got purple flowers, and you have blueberries!
Neat "themed" blog page. I still haven't switched to "themes". Most "themed" blogs look similar, where the intent is to be able to modify the modules, adding and deleting them to your satisfaction. I couldn't help but notice (besides the blueberries) that you have a "recommend" module (with one of my floral photos at the top, sweet.) Your page looks great. (and makes me hungry for blueberries.)
I've only written a couple of "political" themed blog entries. I just hope McCain doesn't slip into the Prez's seat while the Dems are off bickering!
RYC: "Purple Haze" was the title of the L.A. Times article on the jacaranda blooms this year. I didn't want to crib their title, so I made up my own. Pulchritude is one of my favorite words that nobody knows, so I used alliteration in my title. Hendrix music on the blog might be too brutal for some folks, however, so I'll stick with the Jayhawks!

@baldmike2004 - More people should know the word "pulchritude." As an English major and lover of such abstract nouns, I'm familiar with it. Yum, blueberries. Yes, I switched to themes SOLELY so I could easily show my recommended sites, pictures, etc.
I'll have to check this book out!
Glad you are feeling so well now you have changed your diet. Judi
Yeah, those are good books, and good authors.
I, also, was wondering how you stretch the word lots. Actually, I wonder about a lot of words like that.
