Me too! I'd be more than OK with that - or there's always your peppermint latte ;)
I can also see what she was trying to do and appreciate the angle she took, but I still felt cheated jumping from action to "what, it's over already?! Whaaa?"

Anytime :) I wish you lived closer and/or my computer was working so we could skype and with Elen - she could use some intelligent non-mom conversation about her reading choices!

This looks amazing!

I remember them well from my misspent youth. "One and one" is still one of the favorites and it was good to hear it again. Thanks for a great page on a great little band!

Win! Enjoy it!

Kindle Fire for me. My kids will get one for Christmas this year I think.

You know, it might just be that one. I found it on YouTube!!

@Triggered - Good point and I really don't know what the readership will end up being. While I'm fairly convinced that my audience will be English speaking, that's pretty broad group. For all I know, I could end up being a rock star in that new capital of English-dom known as India. :). Seriously, the real audience for an opinion like this is just a subset of America... perhaps a narrow one.

I wonder if it was the version with Susannah York in it? That's the one which many see as the classic adaptation.

I can't remember if I read the book back in my high school days, but I remember an excellent, powerful film adaptation that I watched before 1989, back when TV programs ran for a few hours a day in the evening, and the best you could hope for were cartoons on Saturday, a Teleencyclopedia on Saturday, and adaptations of classic novels. I went on imdb to see which film I did see, but cannot seem to be able to find it . . . It bothers me that I can't remember. :-) That film stayed with me.

Glad you both enjoyed the article! Yeah I always found it to be a lot easier saying goodbye when the plane ticket was already booked for next time. And you're right Katie; you learn not to take the other person for grated when you don't get to see him often and the time you spend together is so precious. I need to get myself a smart phone! :)

It was a beautiful moment. :)

Nice story with that woman at the festival ;-)

Great to hear I've convinced you! Italy is amazing. I've been many times and it's always gorgeous. And if you decide to go in the summer you can still fit in the warm sandy beaches :)
