Paul Gregg is in good spirits & recovering well--emt

I talked to Paul on the phone this morning. He is making good progress and has a check-up appointment for tomorrow already. I asked if I could visit today and he said "no"! He said he looks terrible. So I will check in with him in a few days. In the meantime, Paula and Paul are enjoying the Monk episodes that Mark & I lent them on DVD. Yippee!

The Beej!


Bijou is lounging on top of the stereo and seems to be listening along with me as I play an audiobook!

Too Exciting!

I wanted to make a CD of songs that reference literature as a Christmas present for friends. I was at a loss of where to start and then I found this very cool thread on Library Thing. Yippee! I have, at the very least, 25 songs to choose from. Cool!

I was with them in spirit. I am so proud of America right now! Let's keep the momentum going for positive change!

Two Lightbulb moments!

1--An article in the Nov. 2008 Oprah, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Scram" describes our marriage perfectly. It is so affirming because lots of people think it is strange how much time Mark & I spend apart. It works for us! :) We are growing & maturing in all of our work and activities and then we converge to make meaning of it all. We wouldn't want it any other way!
2--This link, although humorous, starkly reveals the gaps in capabilities that technology can create. It made me say "hmmm". It is good to learn through humor. And makes me reexamine how I look at my patrons. (Thanks, Dymphna, for sharing.)
