    Not an original title (google it, there are references throughout the internet--we are not a dying breed) but an accurate one. Reading (& knitting) promiscuously keeps my nose clean, my hands busy and my mind off of other preoccupations of modern life.

    I concede defeat....

    Comparing morning coffee activities with my husband the other day, I realized that I had to concede defeat. While drinking my coffee, I usually sit in front of the computer and peruse three newspapers: the Seattle Times, the New York Times and El Pais from Spain. I thought that was doing pretty well--considering I also had kids, etc to take care of as well. He, however, reads FIVE! papers, La Nacion from Costa Rica, Siglo XXI from Guatemala, two local papers and El Pais. I may have to consider adding another paper to my repertoire....
    Finished Bad Heir Day. Perfect summer read. Funny, good word play and an ending that had the prettiest pink bow on it...sometimes it's just lovely to take a break from reality. I'm on to The Other Boleyn Girl and then Hunger's Bride (do I detect a hint of procrastination in attempting to tackle a book with over 1300 pages?---perhaps).
