Who, who is this "they"? I'll admonish them at every turn. Tsk, tsk.

I promise to no longer cite Casablanca when asked about starting dates for Dune. I hope.

Are we asking (I love the torque in that expression) whether to advertise for April or to defer our advertisement? Is it possible that someone wishes to begin now?

Sounds grand, though like Rick Blaine - I never plan that far in advance (wink).

What do we duly do about the Dune? What works for people?

Weeping Jesus caught in flagrante delicto with my local Iman and at Passover, for the sake of March of Dimes. I larded my proposal because of the unseemly nature of diplomacy. I love Manny's review. I think it was one of the reasons I bought the novel a year ago.
I need rest, a holiday -- maybe some time listening to Lester Young and some actual warm weather.

John Boehner didn't ask me to open this folder, nor did an election in the Knesset. My present interests in Medieval Studies and contemporary theory have sort of coalesced in this particular novel's direction. The specifics of causality remain unclear.

Okay, I was thinking of inviting Bibi Netanyahu to read Dune with me. Dune, some may gasp? No, I have never read such. Maybe I should rethink my plan. I still wish to read Dune.
