We used to read "One Morning in Maine" at least once per visit. I must have seen the bronze ducklings in the Boston Public Gardens at some point, but I can't remember--it's been Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338782102030629262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12904310.post-68057469885892746092008-04-24T12:44:00.000-07:002008-04-24T12:44:00.000-07:00Moxie is a soft drink.

Not one of my favorite ways to spend my time -- but I like the (sadly, short-lived) results.<BR/><BR/>What's moxie?<BR/><BR/>Robert McCloskey wrote both "Ducklings" and "Sal" -- did you know that?

Yesterday and today I have been home from work, getting things done around the house that have been sliding throughout the thesis process. It feels good to have a clean(er) house. <BR/><BR/>I think I must have read "Blueberries for Sal!" It sounds familiar. Another childhood favorite that's on my mind today is "Make Way For Ducklings," as I saw some ducklings Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338782102030629262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12904310.post-49112409932009082872008-04-23T15:00:00.000-07:002008-04-23T15:00:00.000-07:00Maine (York Beach)in the Summer is heavenly, fried...Maine (York Beach)in the Summer is heavenly, fried clam bellies, moxie and lobster rolls! <BR/><BR/>In the winter, it is fearsome and beautiful.

Hooray! Thank you for the good thoughts! It was not a trusted friend per se doing the errands, but a member of my research group who has gone through the thesis submission process himself, and is therefore familiar with what needs done.
