Out of nowhere today I got a book in the mail from my dad. It's Bill Bryson's "Shakespeare / The World as Stage." He even dated it and inscribed it on the inside ("To, Carolyn, our Shakespearian, with love, Dad Feb. 2008). I'm all verklempt (or however you spell it...)

What a lovelly present from your dad! I didn't know about this book, but I'm a HUGE Bill Bryson fan, so I must find it! Have you read his "Sunburnt Country", about Australia?

As to your dream, I would love to crawl into the pup tent with you and our boy! We could light the Coleman lamp and play cards all night!

That was so sweet of your dad. Especially since your parents often don't "get" you, I think it's so cool that your dad makes the effort to do that and every once in a while give you something he is certain you will like. I hope that you let him know what a big deal that is to you. :nods:

As for Tony...I can think of better things to do than play cards in that pup tent. "I wish I knew how to quit you!" ROFL
