Couldn't wait to get it; got it as soon as it hit the shelves. I hated it. <br /><br />Weird, huh?<br /><br />I found my way here through R. Sherman's fine site. I very much liked your post about hiking in NH's Presidential Range (I live in NH). I'll be skiing at Cannon, in Franconia Notch, tomorrow morning. <br /><br />Peace.Bill Gnadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343608982238562089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-67027316031432847632010-02-05T11:23:14.469-05:002010-02-05T11:23:14.469-05:00That's a funny quote about a "jackass&quo...That's a funny quote about a "jackass" on every trip.

I'm listening to thr choir's performance now, and it's really beautiful and i can imagine how proud you must be.<br /><br />Funny thing the Southern Yankee paradox -his language seems very funny-. I can't give an opinion about Walmart (never visited one of those, lol).<br /><br />I'm now into audio books. I have a very interesting one:"A short history of tractors in Ukranian", by Marina Lewicka (i can listen to it when I drive.
