Dang, but you are Dapper! Would love to hear you read Dickens. Would love to go to London with you. Will settle for a visit when next you wander Southward:)

Jamie,
I’ll forward your message onto Nina and keep prodding her to contact you

For May, YES, keep in touch – I met with with Leah Hampton and Lis Gallo in London a few years back when they were on a school trip (and have subsequently met Leah on another school trip here in Alsace, France.. and have met Lis in Italy).

We’re not ’so’ far away.. I could fly and meet up with both you and Nina (that would be a good excuse for me to see Nina).

You are, of course, welcome here ANYTIME (we live just beside airports and train stations).

Let’s stay in touch about May

Thanks so much for sharing this Robyn! There have been three or four uses of Cornerboys in (mostly college) classrooms already, but this sounds like the coolest, and the one with the most potential impact. It never occured to me that people would want to *teach* this. Please encourage her to contact me–I’d love to hear from her. I’ll be in London in May; I’d love to meet her.

All our love to you and Benoit and the wee ones. I hope to get to France one day and see you in person again. Any chance of enticing you and the fam across the channel in May?

Jamie,

I spoke to a friend of mine last night. She’s called Nina and lives near London. We hadn’t spoken for a while but she regularly checks out my blog. Well, you know what? She was so touched and inspired by your video that she used it in her class. She works in a high school in a ‘difficult’ area. She showed the first half of the video and asked them to create an ending! I’m encouraging her to email you the results. Even if you don’t hear ever from her, know that I think its pretty darn cool that you’re touching people with your ideas.

hugs (inspired hugs),
Robynxxx

Follow @chicklitgurrl She’s a writing prof at a university in Louisiana. I love her:)

Quinoa is ridiculously expensive at the store. If you can find it in bulk, it’ll cost less. If you feel inclined to try that salad I made, here’s the post w/the recipe:

You are not a slacker, my friend. One look at the pictures of your Halloween-bedecked yard is proof of that.

Thanks for the Twitter tip. I follow NaNoWriMo itself; I figured there would be quite a few folks on there.

I nearly bought quinoa at the store today, because of you. But it was WAY expensive, and I knew I couldn’t make it taste like you did…

Lots of folks on twitter are NaNoWriMo-ing. If you want to find them, tweet w/hashtag #NaNoWriMo, or search for that hashtag.

Sounds like a fun and productive November, Jamie. Have a blast–can’t wait to read about werewolf crime solving and What Not! Very cool that your kids are into it, as well. I feel like such a slacker. But Camille caught a mole today and killed it Dead. So there.
