Go Betsie.

Kri, your fingers need more exercising.

And speaking of Polish things:

"Everyone needs sex. Jaroslaw Kaczynski lives alone. Where does Jaroslaw Kaczynski get his? Has anyone bothered to look? Is he covering something up?"

The anon suggested that he sleep with his pussy cat or octopus. Two octipi/octopussies in fact.

Marlo Dianne, you're absolutely right that we could go right into Reading the text... but I'm stalling hoping that some of my other open projects will finish themselves before starting any new ones ;)

Thanks Kri and Bronwyn Kate for the cheering =)

WhoooHooo! ... the scanning is complete with 375 images total... now I need to do a few things with the images and put them into a gallery page online so that we can start recording this book next week (hopefully)

thanks so much for the encouragement along the way.... *whew*

YES!

I am so proud of you Betsie!

I was going to write you were my Bestie (Best Friend) on Librivox.

But I thought you wouldn't want to be my best friend for such venial/instrumental reasons.

But because we shared a mutual interest in recording and making Librivox the happy and diverse project it is.

(Sorry for the philosophy - it smacks of Kohlbergian morality - but I was reading about Tweens and morality. If you had an 8-12 year old child or you were one yourself, you'd understand, or maybe if you worked with that age group in a school setting).

Oh Bronwyn Kate, I was an 8-12 year old once... and remember that time vividly... (oh, and I had a psych minor in college too hehe)... so I completely understand =)
