I had a good visit with Neddy the other night, but I don't think I convinced him it would be better to build a smaller version. I thought I'd managed to convince him when I said "But which version are we building? There were several stages, after all" but he just said "We should build the whole thing" and started talking about tinting concrete ( Read more... )

I am sure everyone has heard by now that Mr. Roberts is out of the coma, but Aunt Harry went by the hospital yesterday and talked with Mrs. Roberts. She says he's still very confused and they don't think he'll be back very soon.

Yesterday I had to talk to the police after school. Aunt Harry went with me. They kept asking me the same questions, over and over, and it got very tiresome. Had I stayed at home all evening?

But only Chip can ( Read more... )

I am not going to the dance but I voted for people anyway. I didn't mention the reasons there, but here they are ( Read more... )

I have been too busy re-writing my essays for Mr. Roberts to make a new post but I am so sick of re-writing that I decided to stop for a while.

Uncle Charley got me a book that is very helpful about writing English. It is called The Elements of Style (fourth edition), by William Strunk JR, E. B. White, and Roger Angell. I have already read it ( Read more... )
