Yikes. So it turns out that the person giving away "Charlotte's Web" for a Halloween treat last night (see below) was neither a hippie nor a dentist, as I had originally suspected. No, it was Chris Gregoire, the governor of our fair state.
Sorry, Governor. I meant no offense. It's just that, to me, "Charlotte's Web" is only a childhood treat if you enjoy the feeling of having your young, innocent heart ripped to shreds. Could a child endure a sadder story than that of Charlotte? Oh, how that tragic tale torments me to this day!
But giving away books is a good way to promote literacy...so...um...yay, way to go, Governor!
If I were giving out books, I'd go for Flat Stanley, no doubt about it. I still pull that little gem off my bookshelf for a bedtime read.
If you too are a fan of Flat Stanley (Mary T., I'm talking to you), you must check out this photo essay of FS's trip to the White House. Flat Stanley, you better not mess with Condi!

Flat Stanley could give her some major paper cuts.
Okay, I just now checked out Flat Stanley at the WH--totally hilarious. Do you suppose they were shooting these during Katrina? Just a note to check out the photos in John Bolten's office: The guy decorates with photos of George Bush's hands...creepy!
It's been a while since I visited your blog - so nice to see pics of you, SMH, Loki & the house! Glad to know that you're doing well "post-op." Keep posting; it's nice to check in on you.
