wow! just wow!

first off, coming in here and accusing people who, for the most part acknowledge having somewhat out of control reading addictions of not reading your temper tantrums is pretty amazing. second, so what if our thumbs are a little over developed? that should actually make you panic whilst in preperation of the challenged thumb wars!

guess what?
<------- that's really me! and not when I was a teenager! that is a 50 y.o. part native female veteran. I take my reader up on the mountain. when I'm not teaching, I'm reading, and I have plenty of the classics loaded on my reader. there have been times when the conditions have been so lousy that getting the littles out on the slopes was just cruel. what do I do? take them to the lodge, get some cocoa, and read to them from my reader. I engage in many other outdoor activities as well, I train and ride horses, camp extensively, hunt, shoot competitively, and go out and look for people lost in the woods. in every situation (well except for the horse training), I have my reader with me. it sure beats the days when I was lugging a big book made out of trees around with me. I can and do read alloud to my companions, quietly to myself, and can pick and choose as I will. what I'm not is tied down to a computer spewing a rather confusing agenda across the interwebs.

peace man, it's all good
