Long time no post!

I haven't posted anything new in over a month - wow!

Well, as an update, let me just share that I'm now halfway through John Le Carre's "The Constant Gardener," and am also dipping into Alice Munro's collection of short stories, "Runaway" every now and then. On my mp4 player, there's a Focus on the Family radio theater rendition of "Les Miserables" and the usual audiobooks of Sherlock Holmes adventures thanks to one of my favorite links, Project Gutenberg.

My sister and I have finally finished the complete season of Friends, thanks to the friendly people at Metrowalk and the beauty of piracy  6 DVDs and 10 seasons later and many, many nights in front of the TV, it's mind-blowing to realize that no, Ross, Chandler, Joey, Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel are not our next door neighbors. Because by now it really does feel like they come over for dinner all the time!

Another thing: I'd like to have a bird feeder for all the mayas in the neighborhood. I think it will be fun. We used to have love birds, but ended up letting them go. It just seemed so wrong to have them caged. Ask Maya Angelou.
