A few things to babble on about before getting down to business.

I bought Michael Bublé's new album last week and I keep playing it whenever possible, especially the song "Everything", a song he co-wrote.

Oh, and I finally have AC in my car after a year! A year in Florida, I'll have you know. Anyway, all his happy now and not as near as expensive as originally estimated, always a bonus. : )

OK quote time. No one got last week's quote which comes from one of my all-time favorite novels: Ivanhoe. This time I've decided to go for a short story, one that most, if not all, of us have read at one time or another.

. . . he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was--a woman.

I'm fairly certain it's Mark Twain but the title is escaping me.

I wish I were around last week because I adore Ivahoe! Rachel of York is one of my favorite heroines ever! In case you haven't seen this version, it's worth the rental even with some great liberties taken http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Ivanhoe/60030435?trkid=189530&strkid=588849945_0_0

I first read Ivanhoe freshman year in high school and my tracher thought I was crazy because I asked to read ahead! I have the version with Anthony Andrews on tape somewhere. This one I may have seen as well.

As for the quote, no, it's not Twain. A bit earlier but it is an American author. Keep trying!
