In the Beginning

bethje jokingly had some material mailed to me by Family Radio, and now I'm apparently going to be on their mailing list for all eternity (or until the world is destroyed with fire and brimstone). Anyway, here's a gem from their latest newsletter:

Apparently the new Simpsons season is actually starting at a reasonable time of the year. The season premiere is this coming Sunday, rather than in November. I wonder why, but I guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

My newsgroup reader sucks. It keeps saying that there are new messages that haven't been downloaded, and then it refuses to download them.

rockinlibrarian did something where she listed the first sentences from her ten favorite books, and then asked people to guess. I'm going to do the same thing, although these aren't necessarily my top ten favorite books ever or anything. I do like all of them a lot, though.
