Odds and Ends

My question about Grammar Gal was answered by an anonymous commenter - she did recently appear on Oprah. Nice to know. It will be even nicer if some of the 40-odd people who visited my blog for the first time yesterday come back. I'd love to have some higher numbers. I always feel a bit inadequate when I visit blogs and see that the blogger receives more comments on each post than I have in total readers. Sigh.

Also, I've been busy reading away thanks to some pregnancy-induced insomnia. I've updated my reading blog with a bunch of new entries.

My mom, knittergran, just installed a hit counter on her blog and would love to see that more than just four family members stopped by. If you have a moment, check out her stuff and say hi.

Finally, my sister, who lives in Los Angeles, survived her first real earthquake yesterday. Check out her account of it.
