Good. Kelvin's not lost it, then - quirky but enjoyable. As ever. :-)
Totally off topic- I am looking for a copy of "Benjamin's Book" for the teacher that I work with. She said it is one of her favorites; it helped her get through a devastating divorce. It would be the perfect teacher appreciation gift. If you have any information as to where I could find a copy, please drop me a line. Thank you very much.
Sorry, you've got the wrong Alan Baker...
here and for US 3... the postage will be 6ix times cost of the book!
http://www.amazon.com/Benjamin-Bounces-Back-Alan-Baker/dp/039731809X
but, I suspect you can "google" from there
or
visit a used book store?
anyway
what's the "skinny" on what is now going on at Oxford?
I hope the other two "contestants" drop out in protest over the DW "stuff"...
well in 4 years American Social Security AND Medicare will dry-up...
it s all about feeding our fears
etc
It seems Derek Walcott isn't a flawless individual, and that bars him from being Professor of Poetry at Oxford.
that's funny "the wrong Alan Baker"
well I also got a children's book author
over here
calls herself ED Baker or, sometimes, E.D. Baker AND
I have gotten emails from kids in elementary school asking about "my"
The Frog Princess book..
and from where did I get my ideas... I told one little darling that
"after I fry up a mess of Bull Frog's legs and down 9 cold beers THEN I write my stories..
this E.D. Baker also lives not too far from me...
have never seen one of her books... don't care to.. however, timidly,
I emailed her via her publisher and asked her to use her real name instead of "ED"
as her kiddie books were interfering with me getting famous in my own poetic/art right!
she replied... I forget what she said
sooo all of these Baker's
geeze.
maybe she will do a children's story about children in bombed out Iraq? or children all over the world being sold into sex-slavery-business?
and don't get me started about...OUR BEAUTIFUL LEADERS
I guess you've got to be a bottom feeder to become a politician, eh..
they ALL lie-like-sacks
"after I fry up a mess of Bull Frog's legs and down 9 cold beers THEN I write my stories.."
I like that.
