"once you begin watching spiders, you haven't time for much else"

1. I think we should all take a fieldtrip to this exhibit in Philly on Crumb.

It's there till Dec 7! Any takers??

2. if you get the chance you should listen to the Driveway Moments podcast about E.B. White.

It is a short nice little reflection on Charlotte's Web, AND DID YOU KNOW that E.B. White is just about the sweetest man who ever lived?? When he was being recorded reading the book aloud for the making of the audiobook it took him 17 tries to get through Charlotte's death scene. He just couldn't keep it together! He wrote it, read it a million times, and just could not get through reading that passage out loud without crying. You can listen to him read a chapter here.
