Nostalgia

I've been working really hard, and finally got it together enough to renew my reader's card at the Huntington. And to my embarrassment I was there about an hour when I ran into some colleagues from grad school. THEY were working. One of them is there working all the time, and of course I ought to have been doing this all along. Oh, well.

Thank you for the video clips. :) They made me grin, especially the last one. One of my very good friends is a HUGE Weird Al fan, so I'd seen this before, but it's still good for a grin. Have you seen Weird Al's latest? It's a Doors tribute called 'Craigslist

If that's Harry's kid, he is definitely going to feel strongly about it, because of the whole orphan thing. And then there's what all the other women in Harry's life are going to think about this.
