Morning everybody! It’s looking like a good reading day here in New Hampshire, although it’s early yet!

Lincoln’s birthday … always an important date in my Book of Days. I do wish that we had never gone the President’s Day route – just too generic for my taste.  I was not consulted, however.
Bookeaters are celebrating Mr. Lincoln’s birth with a perusal of Daniel Mark Epstein’s book, The Lincoln’s:  Portrait of a Marriage.  [...]

The Bookeaters traveled to Portsmouth yesterday where they discussed Ethan Frome at Brazo … after most had attended the Live at the Met performance of Berlioz’ “Damnation de Faust” at the Music Hall.
Thought the Music Hall was cold enough to have us all slipping on our coats and mittens while we watched, I found myself [...]

Everything seems to be working just fine this morning — and my mood is definitely better than it was this time yesterday!  Added a cool translation widget (with thanks to the field negro for the idea. (They do my heart good, widgets do!)

I don’t know about you, but in all the Big Brown hoopla, I often found myself missing Smarty Jones and wondering what had become of him. The Philly Phenom hit the world stage after winning the Kentucky Derby in 2004 … and went on to capture the hearts of many (myself very much included). He [...]

I just added a new category of links – “Bookeaters’ Blogs” for blogs about books. (I suppose they could actually be about eating, too.)
Thanks, ML, for sending along the first suggestion. Other suggestions of good sites for book reviews, book ideas … anything book-related … are most welcome!

Yup, I did. It’s kind of a drag to admit the latter .. but there it is. How, you ask? What could possibly please these two rather different versions of homo erectus? (And yes, I mean erectus. Have you ever seen how Dubya walks? That stupid swagger of his? Definitely erectus.)

My sister, who is a fairly regular supplier of interesting internet doohickeys, sent me this cool link for checking demographic data about your zipcode.  Mine’s 03224.
Meanwhile, if you want to elevate your blood pressure without exercising, read a little about the Westboro Baptist Church folks … who apparently plan to picket at Heath Ledger’s funeral.  [...]
