The latest edition of My Favorite Things:
1. John McIntyre on why his class on editing is not a gut course.
2. Also re editing: Read the last third of Anne Lamott's FB post.
3. The new CD from Avett Brothers won't be out for another week, but you can listen to the whole thing here.
4. How to say LOL in 14 different languages.
5. I loved reading this letter from Flannery O'Connor.
6. The dirty etymology of 9 everyday words.
7. I took the kids to Fenway last week for a day game. The Red Sox are no longer the recognizable crew I'm used to, but they did put on a good win for us. Plus it was Tickets for Troops Day, which always brings a tear to my eye. And there's always next year....
I don't read a lot of Anne Lamott, but I think I'd love to know her and go out for breakfast fairly often. Of course, I think that about you once in a while, too.
I LOVED the Intro to Editing bit -- I'd so like to take that class. Although I'm a lawyer -- it might be hard for me, despite my mastery of the em-dash and semicolon.
Aren't the Avett Bros. just the cutest things ever?

Oh, I forgot to ask! I am too dumb to figure out what you mean by the title of the post.

I've been doing posts on "My Favorite Things" for a few months now -- began with Raindrops on Roses, then Whiskers on Kittens, etc. etc. Next up: Crisp Apple Strudels.

Yes, indeed! Schnitzel mit Nudeln comes next, I think?

Yup, right after "Door Bells and Sleigh Bells."
