Hazaa, and ditto! Now which is the better toy in your eyes - tinker toys or lincoln logs? :)
Humm... good question. I guess it all depends on what you want to do with them, but I'd definately say that Lincoln Logs are a higher end item. :)
Funny. I've been thinking about re-writing "Stopping By Woods" in the voice of Hemingway.
Hum... interesting. I’m trying to imagine what would that be like. I suppose intense dialogue with the horse.
You should do an essay for NPR's This I Believe project they've got going. Info is at www.npr.org.
Ironically - I was at a poetry group meeting last night where the theme was list poems. I am aware of the NPR "This I Believe" essay project and the title of this was actually based upon that. Someone else there last night suggested I send it in. Of course this is a little more light in levity than what I think they are looking for, but I am toying with the idea none the less.
el a,
Ok, I relented and submitted this to NPR for the "This I Believe" project today. Too many people have said - ya gotta do it.
Ok, already... it's done! :)
