The 13th Tale? I finished it last night. I liked it quite a lot. A moody old fashioned mystery. It's gotten me thinking about twins. I taught 2 sets of twins this year and they were best friends to one another. I feel I've really missed out on something being a single birthed person. But what can I do about it now? Next book will probably be Sam's new one, or maybe Sea of Trolls, or maybe Water for Elephants. I'll keep you posted. Summer vacation so far is suiting me fine.Sunday, June 03, 2007

As the last, by a lot, of five children, I often wished I had a twin. Mainly, I think, because I was lonely and bored stiff. What I really wanted at the time was someone -- anyone -- to help entertain me.
Now, I wish I had had a twin as someone who would have competed with me, pushed me -- or perhaps inspired me or conspired with me -- to do more stuff. I'm rarely bored now, but I am pretty complacent with -- and often revel in -- inactivity. Seems wrong, unambitious, unproductive, etc. Some folks just seem to get so much done...

I'm feeling the love with ya re: summer vacation!
