I have the 4th and 5th off from work... I have to call Newtie's doctor and let him know about our change of address.

Cut the heel and the top of my left foot during walkies... twisted my foot in a funny way... surface scrapes, but they're going to be tricky heals. Gauze and tape it is, and maybe *gasp* shoes with socks?

Friday might be the day to swing by the bicycle shop.

Reading enthusiasts across the globe have taken to leaving books laying around in public with a web address inside. The idea is that whoever picks up the book may find it a good read, register the book's current location on the website, then leave it out to begin the cycle anew. A pretty cool idea, if you ask me, and much in the flavor of tracking George Washington - and to think it was all made possible by helium balloon technology, although sadly the romance of the message in a balloon has cynically given way to email indistinguishable from spam.

doing the fuzzy-gut strut.

Newtcam is on, and pointing at his foodies today.

Part of my interview for NPR was about bookcrossing.com -- I've now left 12 books out in public places (my personal favorite was leaving "Mars and Venus on a Date" in the Space Show at the planetarium). Maybe someday someone will actually report that they found one!

Oh, that book thing is fabulous!

One was released at the hospital just around the corner from me.

I do believe I'll join this movement-- thank you for sharing the awareness!

*huggos!* (and *pettos!* for newtie) :)

Newt! Look at that paunch! Aren't you the chubby kitty? My China kitty would be jealous!


Great idea on the books. Reminded me of the "wheresgeorge" thing that was so popular last year. If you got a dollar bill that had "www.wheresgeorge.com" printed on it, you were supposed to go to the web site and register the serial number and location of the bill. Then you could see a report of where the bill had been before you got it. When I worked at the bank I saw thousands of them.

Duh! If I would have followed your link I would have seen that you were refering to the "wheresgeorge" thing! I'll shut up now. LOL
