If there were people there, would it still be a desert island?
My Spice and I listened to a book on CD while we were on our trip - hilarious (to me) "Flabbergasted" by name and written by Ray Blackston. It helped the trip go much faster. ec
Computer is dead, maybe permanently. I don't know.
People live on lots of desert islands, you silly people!
I love listening to books on tape for car trips. When I traveled with my family we would do that and it helped!
Nic must have been thinking deserted island = difference! Why do you wish 1984 hadn't been written? I wish it weren't so frighteningly accurate. #3 just read Princess Bride; I'll have to too now.
P.S. #3 is going to school this fall!
