There has been a change.

I now have a library card!!
And there are qed thn 8iklm8ikm (<--- Christine's contribution to the blog [for those of you who are unaware, Christine is my roommate, not a cat.])
As I was saying before I was interrupted, there are ebooks for download!
Welcome to the 21st century. We've been here for over a decade, but no single advancement in the availability of technology has made me more happy.
The follow up question would naturally be: So what amazing books have you found to check out Ruth?

If you said anything else, you were wrong.
If you've seen this before, well good for you Joseph. (Just kidding. I love you!)

Miss you all.
