I'm John Locke, and you?

Do you watch Lost? I've seen it on DVD only...no TV here in this house. I like to see the whole season at once. So...I wait. While you might be gobbling up the new episodes, I've got to content myself with games:

Which Lost Character Are You?

and also Find815.com. Have you been there? And who are you? find out.

In praise of Serl, our new (-ish) Language program for two of the kids, I must say that I am very impressed. There are only two books, Primary and Intermediate. My youngest is working on the Primary book and my #2 is working on the Intermediate one. Why do I like them so much? Well, they are NOT BORING. That helps.

Not getting bogged down in silly grammar lessons and crazy composition, the author varies each lesson. One day you might do an oral composition based on the lessons premise, or you might look at sentences with a choice of using the word "a" or "an" and figure out for yourself what the rule might be. Some lessons are written, others are not. Some lovely poetry and prose are memorized by the likes of Robert Louis Stevenson and Alice Carey.

In praise of wool socks, I must admit that I have been converted. Living where it is mostly dry and sunny and warm/hot, I felt sure all my life that cotton was the way to go. Not so. I take my wool socks to amusement parks and to weather changing outings. There are days when you know it will start out cold, but (being in So Cal) that it will warm up immensely and then turn chilly again....and the wool socks will take you all the way through in comfort. My feet stay dry in the heat (not hot, though) and warm in the cold. All day.

Are you thinking of Kenya? I am hearing of more violence and also more organized relief.

I am moving on with the whole bible for lent. I am in Deuteronomy now. More on that later.
