I'm late to every party but I'm glad the Hamilton party's still going on 'cause I just arrived. Hey, Betsy, I'm holding your cd ransom. Are you young, scrappy, and hungry enough to fight me for it?
P.S. This wasn't on the FB post, but Betsy, who got me hooked, directed me to 21 Steps to Becoming Obsessed With Hamilton. I don't think I'm obsessed, though. It's just a little addiction.
Updated to note: My family corrects me: I am obsessed.

People often say things like, "Just you wait," regarding the teen years. Tonight, my 13 yr. old took the dog out, and came in saying, "Mom! You have to come see the sunset! I couldn't stop taking pictures!" Yes...just wait. You, too, will have lovely moments with some of the most wonderful people in your life...your teens.

Anne-with-an-e: "What are you reading?"
Me: "A blog post about planners, and about how your temperament fits into what kind of planner you are."
Anne-with-an-e (pauses, then laughs): "That's really dorky." **
Me: "I know. That's why I love it."
Anne-with-an-e: "Where'd you find it?"
Me: "Jen sent the link. It's a homeschooling blog."
Anne-with-an-e: "Of course."
Attention, fellow dorky planners: the post is at Wildflowers and Marbles.
** This is a compliment, by the way. :) :)

We're finally watching Poldark, which Atticus teases should be called, "Poldark and Handsome."

Intriguing article about Christopher Hitchens, and a mention of my Deathbed Conversions book in this New York Times piece:
Christopher Hitchens Was Shaky in his Atheism, New Book Suggests
A new book says the impious author of “God Is Not Great” might have been exploring faith before he died in 2011. Mr. Hitchens’s secular friends disagree. NYTimes.com/By Mark Oppenheimer

My Becky has been soooo into Hamilton. Somehow though I've managed to avoid listening to much of it. Maybe I should make more of an effort.
I have gotten old enough now that I know I am not a planner person. God bless all people who are though. They make the world a beautiful place!
