Darwin's Recent Reading
With the Catholic News sites discussing the Vatican's move to reform the LCWR, I pulled this slim volume written back in 1986 off the shelf to re-read. It's a quick and amusing read: a satirical view of the breakdown and renewal of reli...
by Henry James
I'd never read any Henry James before, though I did see the Nicole Kidman movie adaptation of Portrait of a Lady some years ago because... well, because it was a costume drama with Nicole Kidman in it.

Oh, the cuteness!
(Congratulations on finishing an enormous job.)

Just don't take a break, otherwise you may find yourselves in the same position of some friends of mine who still hadn't finished the baseboards almost 6 months after getting the floor down! :-)
Amber,
Oh, believe me, that is ever on my mind. We tiled our upstairs bathroom three years ago, and it still doesn't have baseboards. Hopefully that will get done now...
...You do have a big back yard, right?
And either a shotgun or a sword collection or something?
The lady on the left looks like an impish charmer to be, the middle lady is going to be sweet, and the lady on the right looks like she'll have a solid, classic case of lovely.
Congrats on them all! (and the floor.) ;^p
