    hey, is this a commercial break or what?
    Great tale so far. You seem to not have had so many of the problems that plague others... but you haven't told us THE REST OF THE STORY....

    No, it's much better written. Also, the female protagonist in this story isn't a twit.

    True enough. Although it was like Hemingway in comparison with the movie. My 10 yr old just got through with it (I was reluctant to let her see it and made her read the book first, even that I was not sure about, but her GIRL SCOUT TROOP is going to see the next one so I relented)...she loved the book but even she thought the movie was terrible. TERRIBLE.

    Sorry about the hijack. Think of it as intermission entertainment until we get the rest of the story (eagerly awaiting) from SO.

    I am looking forward to hearing the rest of the ride report.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    Argh!! I was hoping that Susan would have posted the next installment by the time I got home from yoga. Patience is not my strong suit.
