Bit of Ivory

And for anyone else who might be interested, I’m leading a discussion of Pride and Prejudice over on the Sugar Quill book club. We’ve got three threads going: a general discussion, a character dissection thread, and one specifically for discussion of Lizzy and Darcy.

I hope everyone (in the US) had a happy Thanksgiving. Mine wasn’t bad. Good food, good company. I spent a lot of it on the couch, trying to get my back into shape. It didn’t work. When I went into work, wearing a back brace, I thought I’d be able to last until 3. But […]

Seems to be People I Know on the News Week. If you go here, you’ll see a story on SCO, a Utah company, who is suing IBM over some Linux code that was supposedly stolen. Anyway, the BYU student they interview at the end is my eye-candy dance teacher from my last semester at BYU. […]
