Like the U.S. in the Olympics, the New York Yankees have all the cash. Hence, an unfair advantage. <br /><br />Ellie: I love McCullers. "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" is in my top 10. I try to get everyone to read it. She had an interesting/ tragic life.<br /><br />paulo: I'm thrilled you have solved this conundrum. I need all the readers I can get.

But you are right, it is hard for small countries to compete with such a large country as the US. I said on my comment that California is almost as large as Morocco and 90% of Italy, so it should go as a separate state to the games. If all the separate countries of Europe would go as “Europe” or as the “Common Market” against the US, that would give them more medals! <br />I see you live in the East – lucky you.

That would be horrible. Instead I named her after the state she was born in and has lived her entire life. She would have much rather been named after the dog. <br /><br />I wish I had been in that class with you and David Sedaris because hearing him read his work doubles the fun.<br /><br />And yes Central park is absolutely amazing. I've seen that exact spot. I can walk ten minutes from my suburban home and see something similar. What makes CP amazing is I cannot walk ten minutes in the other direction and almost be run over by a hansom cab, and really, isn't that what you want out of nature.Cat https://www.blogger.com/profile/14407425908043520623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-9029923939715627302012-08-09T18:02:34.311-04:002012-08-09T18:02:34.311-04:00Rest assured, Mr. Sedaris didn't "steal&q...Rest assured, Mr. Sedaris didn't "steal" anything.
