Ours (The Canada Book Expo) starts on the 08th of this month, I am trying hard to wrangle a pass, but no luck so far! The machine for making books sounds like a great gizmo, would love to have seen it at work!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-39476984975926481992007-06-05T22:10:00.000-07:002007-06-05T22:10:00.000-07:00stefanie--I love the morning glories, too, even if...stefanie--I love the morning glories, too, even if they're a menace :)Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-72623216775493404092007-06-05T18:22:00.000-07:002007-06-05T18:22:00.000-07:00I love morning glories, especially the heavenly bl...I love morning glories, especially the heavenly blue variety.

I'm sure it isn't easy to get them all together--and I agree, I want some of them, at least, to keep on writing, for my own selfish reasons!Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-31524409493016790762007-06-05T07:24:00.000-07:002007-06-05T07:24:00.000-07:00I guess if you have to have an impossible to get o...I guess if you have to have an impossible to get of weed around, a pretty one would be preferred. :-) It is very pretty though.<BR/><BR/>I have yet to see the Rock Bottom Remainders perform even though they appear at the LA Times Festival of Books sometimes. Maybe next year . . . I wouldn't want them to quit their day jobs either, but for other reasons. They have to write books for me after all!
