Yay!

When I was younger, I had a good friend who looked exactly like Marcy. When we were counselors at summer camp the kids used to call us Peppermint Patty and Marcy. I wonder what happened to Marcy.

8:22: This seems like a good time to mention there are only five acceptable situations in which Eric Gagne should step on the field tonight: A 12-run blowout; a 20-inning game where the Sox runs out of pitchers; a bench-clearing brawl; at the end of the game; and if the bullpen catches on fire and he has to jump onto the field to survive. Five and only five.

Shouldn't they use Varitek in that 20 inning game before Gagne? And I'd feel safer with a 12 run lead if Manny took the mound.

Is it too late to change our roster and put a Ham Sandwich on it instead? Or maybe give the bat boy a chance?

I can't figure out how to paste the thing but it says:

You are the life of the party! However, your sheer joy for life can often mask your philosophical and sensitive side. You are a much more complex person than many realize.

who were these people, given that the university was named in memory of Stanford senior's only child, who died at 16.

C'mon, it was 1870. At their income level, even the consumptive runt had gotten some Irish chambermaid tail by that age.

Oh, Good Grief, Charlie Brown.

Fair point. But since it was 1870, her pregnancy was attributed to her uncle and not spoken of again.

I've been doing way too much traveling lately but it gives me an opportunity to read. So on my plane ride yesterday, I read "On God," which is a conversation with Norman Mailer. I liked it a lot, but since I'm such a big fan, I tend to read his words very uncritically, so I'd be curious if anyone else here has read it and has a different view.

I also read "Blink" which I think means I'm living in 2005 or so.

And on a 5 hour bus ride on Friday, I saw "Rocky Balboa" which I enjoyed.

I'd forgotten the use of the ignore function, which might impact on people understanding my post.

according to one of my recent Chick-Lit books, J. Crew cashmere uses the same mill as Loro Piana.

I am reading a great book called Not Me by Michael Lavigne. I am reading it for my book club, and it is kind of a jew-y book, but so far, I like it.

I bought the new Alice Sebold to read on the plane this weekend. I liked The Lovely Bones a whole lot, so I hope I'll like this too.

I also have something called Code Name Mary: Memoirs of an American Woman in the Austrian Underground.

I read an article that Tess Gallagher is planning to re-release a lot of Raymond Carver stories. I am undecided if I will read this, as I loved the originals so much.
