DYK very foggy this morning...drizzly but not raining...chance of thunderstorms tho so we'll see if it clears up or not. DH just took Rach to community cleanup so she can get some student volunteer hrs for school. (Graduation requirement is 70 I think? She only has 15 or so)
DYK I'm waiting for Jamie's friends parents to pick them up...we had told them around 10:30 so it should be soon now. I may try to go for a run afterwards & *gasp* leave Jamie home by herself for about 1/2 hr.
View from Saturday--finished it...GREAT book, thanks for recommending it.
Have to ask--how did the kids handle the words b*tch & s*x on page 100????...lol. I know they were in different meanings, but I just can imagine the fall out from that.
Another thing that I questioned and then thought about. The noose. Down here in the South, a noose is a very derogatory racial insult and people get arrested for displaying a noose. But I thought about it and I guess in the north (New York), it's not seen as such. And even though Florida is in the south, those involved had moved from the north. I will say that I was offended that it was in the book (even though it had nothing to do with race)--but I guess that is just from a southerner's point of view.
