JD Sallinger passed away. I'm sad!! My friend Jen texted me to tell me, and I was surprised (although at first I thought - "He wasn't already dead?" Geez I'm dumb sometimes.)
So I leaned over and told the Hubby. Him having been an English major in college and all, I would have thought he would have been a bit saddened by the news. Instead he says "I didn't really care for 'The Catcher in the Rye'". WHAT?
I told him he was an unAmerican ass. Appropriate? Well I think so.
I am so tired from my 2 presentations and unending meetings today.
No gym - I babysat my neighbors daughters, which was amusing because, after about 20 minutes, my son was perplexed by the things that girls find entertaining. Now that he and the older girl are almost 8 and almost 9, the gender gap has widened. Gone are the days when they'd run around the yard and both catch frogs...but they did both enjoy using a toy chainsaw to have the big plastic pig give birth to baby pigs tonight. Ah...to be young again. This resulted in a major gigglefest - although the 4 year old was mystified by what was so damn funny.
Kids - so silly.
Heh. As an English major also, I have to agree with Greg. :) It was new and "interesting" for its time because of the way it portrayed a teen. Apparently, teens didn't curse and whine about life back in those days. :) He (Sallinger) was a lousy human being anyway. (He was more than just a recluse.)
