I love Valerie Worth. Love the way she describe such simple things. Great cover the the New Yorker.

Love the poem! Glad you have the reviews off and a bit of time to just “be”.
I can completely relate about the elections…I can’t wait until they are over and I can stop watching arguments being picked whereever I turn!

Have a great day. The weather has warmed here, too. Most of that snow is gone.

Apparently more people curl in Canada than in the rest of the world combined. I sometimes think I should learn. Mat says he’ll learn when he’s too old for football (i.e. soccer). He figures it is the Canadian equivalent of lawn bowls.

Becky,

Thanks for sharing the cover of The New Yorker–too funny! Those are John & Sarah there, scaring the spooks, yes? Ms. Palin has popped up in this area quite a bit today, too. I can’t think of a scarier costume!

Huzzah! You got those three reports done and signed off!

It’s always a good thing when all your children enjoy the same extracurricular activity, especially when it leaves more reading time.

I keep looking at the calendar waiting for the election to be over. Glad I’m not subjected to the final hyper onslaught of media coverage, though it almost seems too quiet. November 4 here is Melbourne Cup Day so that will be somewhat of a distraction, but I’ll still have another whole day to wait for the results.

Happy Halloween!
