Yes, K, how are things?  I've been thinking about you.

Also, have you heard anything from OMG lately?  I've been thinking about her also.

Soundy -

it would be great if you decided to join us  :)

We're off to a slow start, so you have plenty of time to read before the discussion begins.

Jan, in answer to your question in another thread, I got my copy of Elephants a few days ago. I will be starting it any day now. :)

Too many people are getting ping-ponged around in the medical system, it seems. :(  I hope K and OMG16 can recover soon and join us again.

So no filler discussion on Bees or Kite Runner? Oh well... May 1st it is, better get crackin'.

I finished the book today...you get a lot of reading done when you stay at home instead of running around all the time!!   ;D

All I have to say is to look at the pictures at the beginning of each chapter -- I had to go back & do that after reading quite a bit...

Enjoy!

Mary -

glad you didn't think I was a smart a** after reading my comment.

It just brought me back to the years of reading to my kids and all the pictures in their books  :)

Nowadays, I don't get to read to them very often - they are too big - and I definitely miss those days  :(

That is why I didn't hardly look at the pictures b/c I am so used to just reading the text!  I guess we need to slow down and enjoy the things that we used to love!!!

Very good idea, K.

I think I'll start with sleep - I used to love it and I don't get nearly enough these days  ;D
