    I am particularly envious of that drink book. I bet my husband could make good use of that one!

      Kathy – it’s very funny so far! Definitely not a kids’ grammar book – one chapter is devoted to correcting Congressman Mark Foley’s text messages to his underage intern. Funny stuff!

    I’m really looking forward to reading your thoughts on Things That Make Us [Sic]. I didn’t make it to my mailbox today. I doubt there’s anything waiting for me though. I’ll probably go tomorrow or delay any possible gratification and put it off until Thursday. Yeah, right.
