No I will not join you on Facebook

It isn't you.
It's me.
And I'm not joining Facebook or getting a MySpace account and to maintain a level of privacy (and the right to change my mind a million times without any grief) I ain't twittering.
The blogs are enough.
What I really want to do is be able to do before the computer and the Internet, curl up and get completely lost in a good book. Ocassionally I've been able to find a 'can't put it down' book, but the time for it, seems to be gone. I'm afraid if I even consent to one more time suck, the ability to enjoy and feel the great pleasure of a good book will be lost.

Eeek. This is painful to read. We have a book group for the adults over at Scott Montgomery ES. Meets last Friday of the month. I happen to have an extra copy of The Lacuna, the new Barbara Kingsolver. I will GIVE it to you or Si if you read it and show up for discussion. I'm in the library. Off 5th behind the tot lot.

You can quote me on that.

On the subject of books, I went to the Waltha library on Sunday during their appointed hours to get a book and they were closed.
