HOTD knows what she is talking about, notice she didn't even address me or JenB in her post to the sneaks. Not unlike the police not talking to criminals when setting up a sting...

Thanks for the reccomendation, Sam. As soon as I've got time (estimated sometime around the beginning of September) I'll give him a try. I have heard of the guy, actually, but not read his stuff.
Hello, friends! Halfway through my second day of 14 hours of work! Got done writing tech manuals early, so I have a whole hour free before my other job. Is it August yet?

Pretty close, I stopped by Blockbuster two nights ago and they said I could pre-buy the DVD for $29.99. I didn't yet because I figured I could get it cheaper elsewhere.
After looking online the cheapest price I saw was $22.65 and it sounded like they shipped the discs out on 8/6. I don't know if I like that idea. I may end up with Blockbuster so I can have my copy ON 8/6.
How do you like being so busy? Is it making your summer go by quickly? I hope not.

I hope it goes by quickly - little time for anything else! I wish I were back in school, learning something, or goofing off the way I've never done once in my life... maybe I did miss out on something, not getting summer breaks!

Thanks for the info! I'll look for his books the next time I'm at the bookstore.

Oh they are gorgeous and remind me of the area on the shores of Lake Superior called "The Arrowhead". My father was born a little further to the west, in Ely, Minnesota. His parents were among the early settlers up there, arriving in the late 1880's. I only visited there when I was very young, before kindergarten, but still remember the lakes and picking blueberries. The north country is very beautiful in all seasons, but I do not think that I could stand their winters anymore.

I know exactly where Ely is! My husband grew up in Silver Bay. We go up there now and then to visit his friends, and let the boys see the beauty of the area.

The north country is very beautiful in all seasons, but I do not think that I could stand their winters anymore.The last time we visited my family up in Michigan, I found that I didn't enjoy winter as much as I used to... mainly because I didn't like driving in it any more. But I still miss the cold bite in the air, the stark beauty of the all-white landscape, and the incredible brilliance of the stars on a clear, cold night.

But I still miss the cold bite in the air, the stark beauty of the all-white landscape, and the incredible brilliance of the stars on a clear, cold night. See, if I could get all that without the cold and sloshiness on either end, then I wouldn't mind winter that much either.

See, if I could get all that without the cold and sloshiness on either end, then I wouldn't mind winter that much either.I think winter is best enjoyed in a ski lodge (NOT on the ski slopes or trails). Fly into the airport, take a limo to the ski lodge, sit down with a cup of warm cocoa, and look at the beautiful winter weather.
To: Corin Stormhands
I don't like the sloshiness either... but I don't mind the cold. Cold weather makes for the best star-gazing. :)

And there's nothing like those Northern lights!

Oh my how beautiful!
To: 2Jedismom; All
The past year has been really good for Northern Lights. :)
I'm leaving work for home... will be back here later, I'm sure.

If you guys read Helprin, I recommend Winter's Tale, it's much, much better than his other books, good though they are, also it has the more fantastic elements.
To: Sam Cree
Right, will note that!
Early evening tonight - I have free time! I've just started reading a novel, might work on that, or just catch up on web stuff.

Yes, I find the web pretty entertaining, fascinating and educational. I rarely watch TV. Of course, FR is my favorite site.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; Corin Stormhands
I like the cold days, the winter storms. "malt beer, a roaring fire, red meat on the bone..."
To: Sam Cree
TV? Not anymore, not for me. To me, 'cable' is a type of modem and 'remote' is when I'm ten feet from my computer.
