I post on Monday with an occasional random blog thrown in for good measure. I do my best to answer all comments via email and visit around on the days I post.

A Random Thought
Those born on this day are rubbing elbows with some pretty interesting people. Benjamin Franklin - 1706
Anne Bronte - 1820. Has anyone read her novel Agnes Grey?
I've not yet read "Agnes Grey." But, I sure want to. It's one of those books that I've known about, but forget to pick up until I hear about it again. Pretty bad, huh?
Cool! James Earl Jones has the coolest voice in the world. Poor Benjamin though. What do you think he'd say to it being Bald Eagle Appreciation Day? He'd probably break out the Wild Turkey and just laugh. ;)
I haven't read Agnes Gray. Poor Anne; I guess I consider her the forgotten Bronte. The thing is, I loved Jane Eyre and hated Wuthering Heights. If I'd loved both, I bet I'd have given Anne a chance before now.
Rena, Ben did have a live and let live reputation, so I think your assessment of his reaction is absolutely correct!
Marcie, I had the same reaction; loved Jane Eyre and practically hated Wuthering Hights. WH to me is a horrible story about a terribly disfunctional family...but/and...it's well written. I say we all go out and read Anne's book.
Angela, I'm afraid to admit I've only read a little Chekov, not as much as I should and James Earl Jones is one of my favorite actors too. I too sometimes get a kick out of the word verifications. I've taken to writing down the most humorous/interesting ones because I'm sure they'll work in story someday...That's me, a collector of random thoughts/random words.

ReplyDeleteOh I remember when I lived and breathed and sweated Chekov.
ReplyDeleteI love James Earl Jones!
Bish, I like how your Random Thoughts are not always so random!!!
I'm going to start posting my word verifications, because I think they are fun! This one was: glatumo
It sounds like something big and globbery
CJ, I'm with you I must find Anne's book.

I don't know why, but I like knowing all the famous people who share my birthday. Somehow it makes me feel capable of success or something. :-)
