"The sad thing is, I like it." -- Maurice Sendak

Safari ate my blog post

I didn't have much to write, anyway. I just took more words while writing it.

• I don't watch State of the Union addresses anymore.
• Listening to politicians feels like watching the rerun of a poorly played ping pong match. For the twelfth time.
• Gingrich. I'm speechless about that one. Feel free? Maybe?

Award-winners

I can't do links easily from my iPad, but do check out the new Newbery, Dead End in Norvelt, and the new Caldecott, A Ball for Daisy. Forget that I gave Daisy faint praise last week.

The ALA awards quite a number of prizes and tomorrow, when blogging is easier, I'll list the ones I've added to my to-read list.

Meanwhile, I think this video is even funnier on a night when a wordless picture book won the Caldecott.
