WOW - I guess ecurbh and hair are going 'there and back again'????

I dont doubt it about SWIII....poor Joshua. I am sorry to hear about that. I am tempted to find a bootleg copy of SWIII and made a video of me with it in hand yelling "you didnt get my money" and send it to Lucas along with the charred remains of other SW "collectibles". Perhaps I should add Joshua crying as an additional image? Sheesh...all that money and he doesnt know how to use it.

"Beer is proof that God loves us." G'nad is a good distributor of that love --- thank you G'nad!

a '65 VW? a LUUUUUUV BUUUUUG?!

Ive stopped blogging so I can do some REAL writing.

I am trying to collect enough couch change to buy The Thirteenth Warrior.

I have just finished the fifth book in the Southern Vampire series.

couch money will also be going to buy The Quick and the Dead.

Our fifteenth wedding anniversary is coming up next weekend, and we have a date to go to Taste of Texas steakhouse (the best in the world!!)

erm...oh, yeah...homeschool stuff coming to an end and a conference is coming up in June with the writers of The Well Trained Mind as keynote speakers...am very excited about that!!

2J said it was a sad part. Matthew OTOH loved it.

I'll give it a couple weeks so I don't have to fight a guy in a Stormtrooper costume and his bun-headed girlfriend for seats :)

Are you just mad about the lack of writing ability in the recent Star Wars movies, or Lucas's supposed digs at Bush? I saw the movie yesterday and honestly, it wasn't there. Not to any half-witted student of history who sees the stories more related to the fall of the Roman Republic than anything else.

Movie was much better than the previous two, and the first five minutes had the most gorgeous space battle. They almost managed not to have up-down orientation.

WooHoo!! I just bought their most recent book "The Well Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had." I've become very interested in Classical studies since Clare's been homeschooling, so I'm going to try it out myself.

Have a great time at the conference. Those gatherings are great motivators!
