Photos and Finances

As promised, here are a few photos from April's high school talk.



Here's a staged photo of me showing the Random House Fall Catalogue to a couple of male freshmen. Who were probably wishing I'd included several cute and adoring high school girls in the photo!



Chatting about Sherry in said catalogue




These were a very popular item: Hershey Crunch bars with an extraordinarily beautiful sleeve. The front is the cover of I So Don't Do Mysteries; the back is info like the pub date (Dec. 9, 2008) and the blog's url. Thank you LP for supplying the most beautifully decorated chocolate bars in the whole world!

Way in the background are delightful Class of 2k8 bookmarks. I gave them all away.


In financial news, I spent $55 last night on the way home from a local swim meet. On gas and milk.

That's it. Gas and a jug of milk. Granted, the gas needle was on empty and the light flashed on. And I did buy an entire gallon of milk. But, still, $55 seems somewhat excessive.

I may have to turn to tequila. For my van, that is. Here's an article on a home ethanol refinery that, for roughly $10K, will produce 35 gallons of gasoline a week.

Oh, by the way, congratulations to Child #2 for getting a personal best in the 200 yard free!
