Wasn't that a funny letter in which JRRT talked about winning some sci fi and fantasy award? He'd been given a trophy in the shape of a space rocket and wasn't sure what to do with it.

I think he was kind of ticked with the hippies and leftists that kept misinterpreting him.

I sort of think the fact that Nader is associated with the greens proves that their agenda lies somewhere other than conservation of wilderness or whatever.

Good morning everyone! I have been getting the boys ready for a birthday party (to which their dad has thoughtfully gone with them). Now they are gone and I'm supposed to be mowing the yard, but I think it's too dangerous to do all by myself...

I went to my used curriculum fair last night and as usual, I didn't buy any curriculum, because I already have all that I need, but I did pick up some really neat supplies. I got a microscope, just a toy one, but good enough to see some small pond life, butterfly wings or leaves and such. I also got a 3-hole punch! For .50!! And I got a soprano baroque recorder for $3, it looks brand new. Now I don't know if I'm going to keep the recorder or give it to the boys to learn...
