I could say that the Austen reading renaissance was sparked by film versions of her novels, and while I think that's part of the answer, it doesn't explain why the films themselves were such a hit. Could it be that we enjoy beautifully dressed people speaking civilly and cleverly to one another? What a concept! Our world today is full of cleverness, but much of it is mean, and very little of it is well dressed (said the bookseller in jeans with a wry, self-deprecating smile).P. J.

My new accounting method for 2009 (I personally think this is brilliant) involves inter-office memo envelopes. Remember those? Each expense category will have an envelope, receipts and paid bills will go inside, with contents listed in the spaces on the outside. Nothing can be accidentally deleted. I really think this is the answer for me!<BR/><BR/>Walt, you are the second person today to ask about the pool, etc., so I'll have to make a call or two tomorrow and find out what's going on up the hill. Thanks for the memory jog.P. J.

(Although strictly speaking I suppose she's not in a position to enjoy it.) Why do you suppose that would be? <BR/><BR/>Sorry you're having computer woes. I'll bet you have some glorious fall photos to share, and I'll further bet that not being able to post them frustrates you almost as much as the disruption to your business recordkeeping and communications!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
