I went to collect up the girls from college.

We had a wonderful trip, and it's great to have them home, although the house is a shambles with unpacked boxes and bags everywhere.

At least I get to escape to the office this morning and leave them to deal with the mess. <bg>

I love Adam Bede. Or, I probably should say, loved. I read it several times in the old days (pre-marriage and children days when I had time to read!), but don't remember it that well. I am gifted wth a poor memory for books and movies, which means that I have the delight of coming to them again and again almost fresh.

When I get retired I'm looking forward to returning to a life where I read for recreation for hours at a time.

If you want great car listening, there is a wonderful tape out of Great Expectations. I don't have it here, but if you care and I remember, I'll check it out at home and let you know the details. I got it through the Common Reader catalog -- do you know them? Wonderful, delightful catalog for readers
