- has been brought to you by the Cyclops of Potatoland
-
- and his female companions.....the Mighty Cinda, who is prying her eyes open
- in preparation for boarding the DeltaBird for Salt Lake and Chicago....and
- the Wonderful Gail, who is already slaving away at HP, probably starting to
- process the books she bought last week. Friday she took her assistant
- on an expedition to BookStar, the big discount bookstore. After filling
- several of the little handheld baskets of books, the manager finally decided
- they really DID need a book truck to start to stash their purchases. I
- imagine it was their sale of the day, as Gail left with six boxes of books
- and a $3,000 charge on her HP Library Visa Card! And that was after an
- extra discount they gave her for such a large purchase. Wouldn't YOU love
- to go shopping for books like that? I know I would.
-
- Ths subject line is a reminder that Winter began at the exact moment I began
- typing this note to all my DIET and WORDS-L friends. I've set both lists
- to mail again, and will begin digging through it all. Fun!
-
- Best to all....happy holidays....happy vacation....happy end of finals, etc....
