Rob,
But, you see this is good news. All that great children's literature is still out there awaiting you. (Some of my favorite books are "kids" books.)
******************************************* I was actually just trying to be cute, there. I really read voraciously...just not in the same areas as many here. I read all of the original 56 Hardy Boys mysteries several times over by the time I was nine years old, for example.
I was drawn to "older" (poor word to use, I know) material at a pretty young age. When I was ten, I picked up Christie's "Ten Little Indians." I was hooked from the first sentence. I remember snapping up her stuff as fast as I could.
A pointless high school memory: in Sophomore English, we were asked to do a research paper, and given three novels to choose from. One of those was "Ten Little Indians." Oh, man...this is a sure A, and I only got those in music classes. I'd read it fifteen times or something.
Naturally, I was too lazy to claim it in time: in our class of thirty students, ten were alloted to each of the three choices, and the Christie book went first. So I wound up having to analyze "The Great Gatsby."
Of course, I got a C. I liked the book....to this day, though, I wonder how a 15 year old is supposed to understand the subtext of a love triangle set in Jazz Age New York City. These days..I know I could get a B minus.
My third choice, by the way, was "The Catcher In The Rye." I decided I couldn't write a decent research paper about a baseball player, so I skipped that one.
Naturally, one day a few months down the road I picked it up to kill time while serving detention and started reading....and I couldn't put it down. I could've written a KILLER paper on Holden Caulfield. There was a guy a fifteen year old could identify with.
Another depressing story from my high school days. Such fun....

I know what you mean about your kids growing up. Jordan is 11. She is 5'6" and wearing a size 9 shoe. She is going to hit 6' before its all said and done. She also has the attitude of a 17 year old. The next 7 or so years aren't going to be fun.

Why not? There's a hellmouth in Cleveland, you know! Any place where the river can catch fire, that's pretty much a given.

Quoting Spring:
Yes, it does sound like a presentation is required. I've done many a presentation, but it would be just my luck that someone there would recognize me, and somehow it would all get back to my boss. I know it sounds paranoid, but strange things do happen, and the last thing I need is that kind of problem with him right now.
From Kimi:
Hmmm.
Do you want me to 'off' your boss? I can make it look like a painful accident.
And that whole speech, by the way, is one of my favorite Spikisms of all time. Reminded me of the scene on Buffy's back porch where Spike offers to do 'em all.

Hey, Did we ever get a definitive answer on the plural of apocolypse? Was it apocopli? Didn't Holden know? Help, my brain is fried and I can't remember... I jsut keep seeing HTML code...and it's bad code at that!

Hi Dave. Nice to see you again. I know what you mean about your kids growing up. Jordan is 11. She is 5'6" and wearing a size 9 shoe. She is going to hit 6' before its all said and done. She also has the attitude of a 17 year old. The next 7 or so years aren't going to be fun. Mine is 12 going on 20. I'm not worried about the next seven years though -- though I'm thinking her mother and stepfather probably should brace themselves. Although she's still pretty much living in a shell, but when it finally cracks open .....

Hi everyone. I've got half my kids watching Harry Potter too. The other half is draped over my shoulders. Good to see you back, Dave. Chris, the drapee, is slowing me up and so it took me ages to work out that we had moved.

I jsut keep seeing HTML code...and it's bad code at that! Vlad According to my dictionary, the apocolypse is the end of the world, and since that can only happen once, there is no plural of apocolypse. Doesn't mean there can't be multiple failed attempts at an apocolypse. But it can only be achieved once. Unless you believe the Architect......
