we could start a new one and, in the intro, post a link to it's birth, i.e. this one?
So, thus far only Hugh has put forward authors, namely Dostoyevsky and Gaddis. I have loads of the former's works but none of the latter, so would be interested in either; resurrecting a favourite or discovering someone else's favourite.I've just bought some books by Shirley Jackson and J.D. Salinger as I have read only one by the former (We Have Always Lived In The Castle) and none by the latter's (nope, not even Catcher In The Rye). So, I'll be reading them over the next few weeks anyway if anyone's interested in them and any related themes.
And, of course, we have Scotland. And a syllabus right there for us, thanks to Patty. If we do make it to Scotland in 2016 for our 10 anniversary, maybe we should do our homework on it!
So, what's the next step? Even if it's just a few people, let's give it a try. I just told you in a private message, Patty, that I don't have the confidence to participate in these threads, however, I love everything about the FF and its people and I'm willing to bite the bullet for a good cause.
I'm addicted. It's just the most relaxing thing ever. I plan to start another one this weekend!Patty, "no more resisting" x
Hey all, photos from the dork for those not on Facebook or not on my friend list:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...
Hope it works!
Today is the official start of Canadork! Safe travels to all the dorks converging on Toronto over the next few days! I've always loved the image of everyone swooping down in various planes or negotiating roads for the first time in rental cars, finally coming together at an awesome location where we can all dork the hell out for a week!Will miss those who can't make it something silly - you will be in our hearts, thoughts and conversations!
Hey Martha - I've just sent my payment via paypal (changed my mind about the cash - it's just easier this way, right?). Flying to Toronto in a few hours! Can't wait to hug you, Mo!
See you all soon x
Thanks so much for sorting out the payment for us, Martha. I'll give you cash over there, if that's ok? I got a good deal on exchange rates :)
Kerry, that's what credit cards are for! I'm still paying off dorkas from a couple of years back! (*gulp*). We'll send you guys updates fo sho xSOON!!!!!
Les, bring your guitar! :) :) :)
So sorry to hear about your divorce, Elizabeth. Good luck in your new endeavours! Hope we do get to see you x
I've also been a bit traumatised - I worry the dorka is dying a death and I selfishly don't want it to. Some of the happiest moments of my life have come from the dorkas - Les and his band performing for us, Patty and Patrick doing their synchronised swimming routine, swimming for the first time with you guys in that glacial lake, getting drunk on rum with Jennie and Brian, gazing at the full moon with Mo, talking with Patrick in the chapel of the place in Minnesota, fishing with Jean-Paul and Patty...there are too many to list. Laughter, relaxation and the company of good souls - the dorka is my Mecca and I really hope I'll be able to make my annual pilgrimage to you all for years to come. And if not, well, the memories will be treasured forever.
Well Dunn you two (couldn't resist!) x
Right, now that the lovely Patty and her Poet are soaring above the Atlantic back to reality (photos soon), I can focus on planning for this event!Martha, Mo? Shall we send something to you via paypal? How much? Thanks again for jumping in and saving this year's dorka.
Thank you so much Martha and Mo xxx
PATTY HAS SPOKEN! MAKE IT SO!
i've posted a call-to-this-thread on facebook, although if you don't hear from the others, i don't really think they'll mind the new location at all. what do you think objections would be? i say pull that trigger!
yes yes yes. A PRIVATE BEACH!
I LOVE THIS ONE!!
