First the Old Man in the Mountain, now this. Next step in the destruction of Old New England: black folks move to Connecticut!

Um, Tep, have you visited Hartford or New Haven in the last 100 years?

Well, I'm exaggerating, of course.

(My family's been in Connecticut for as long as there's been a Connecticut. And it's actually less white than parts north. But it's still very white.)

Make way for Ducklings ... Blueberries for Sal ... Homer Price ... I think that McClosky should be celebrated for bringing such delight into so many childhoods (well, and adulthoods, too. At least for me).

I remember & love his books, especially Blueberries for Sal

The sound of the blueberries falling into the bucket ... plink, plank, plunk?

I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Thursday, 3 July 2003 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm feeling it

s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 3 July 2003 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)
