God, I hope the book wasn't Devil in the White City!

I think it's great that you want to work with teenagers. It seems so many run FROM kids of that age.

Congratulations on your Sunday Stealing fame.

I never realized you were a teacher, although I'm not sure how I missed it. I'm a dolt sometimes ;-)

One of the coolest things I noticed about this meme was the sheer number of people who tied the question about seeing a certain part of the U.S. to literature. It warmed my little English teacher heart ;-)

Sometimes you need a little junk TV in your life-- unless it's a Kardashian show...

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Thanks for the meme. It's nice that there is now a face on the blog. :) It's funny how well we all get to know each other. I can imagine you going to Chicago and staying at Gal's...
