In our element!

Go, little book, and wish to all

Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall,

A bin of wine, a spice of wit,

A house with lawns enclosing it,

A living river by the door,

A nightingale in the sycamore!

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)Underwoods, I. 1, 'Envoy'

Trying to find the Lobster!

Trying to track down our book club book, Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace has consumed my morning. Since EBA, our gracious hostess, has chosen such a timely book, (given the authors recent death,) many other in-the-know readers have also jumped on the bandwagon. It has made trying to find the book quite a challenge.

So, for all of you who haven't purchased or ordered the book yet-- don't bother checking with any of the Borders, Barnes and Noble, B. Dalton and Olson's book stores in a 50 mile radius. (RKR and I pretty much called everyone this morning.) And make sure to check with Amazon's shipping date of 1-3 weeks, I can't wait that long. If you haven't had a problem-- please tell me your secret.

Kay Graham/41 Photos at the Corcoran

This photo caught my eye today in the Washington Post. But I was even more intrigued when he critiques the juxtapostition of Katharine Graham's photo. I think we should go see this exhibit at the Corcoran.

Thought-provoking bumber sticker

I saw this bumper sticker while driving to work today: "Everywhere you go, there you are." Thoughts?
