Today's trivia question:
Who is Harper Lee?
Don't let me down, guys.
"To Kill a Mockingbird". Taylor had to read it in school last year.
ReplyDeleteKelli--you are all over it!
ReplyDeleteGood work. And in under ten minutes.
Doesn't she just LOOK like Scout, all grown up?
alright, i soooo knew this before i read kelli's answer. where's my gold star for being avid mockingbird reader???
ReplyDeleteand yes! scout! p.s. dave's nephew's name is scout, and i think of her whenever i say it. poor guy.
Kelli beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea she was still alive. Put a smile on my face too. Especially thinking about how the ceremony might have gone:
ReplyDeleteG-Dub: Welcome to the White House, Ms. Lee. Here's your medal. I loved your book, "A Time to Kill." What was it like working with Tom Cruise?
Edward!! You're supposed to keep your liberally-slanted cynicism under wraps in our blog community; did you forget?!?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a liberal, I just think a world leader who can't pronounce the word "nuclear" is humorous.
ReplyDeleteEd! Don't tell me you're voting for Hillary??
ReplyDeleteI think Sir Edmund Hillary might be a good president. Brave, resourceful, leadership qualities, willing to travel. I didn't know that was an option - ?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was the 'Peyton Place' writer.
ReplyDeleteBTW, don't ever tell people about the time you had to kill a woodpecker; geez.
Harper Lee: The supposed author of "To Kill a Mockingbird" -- some conspiracy theorist types allege that Truman Capote actually wrote it. Also, Harper Lee accompanied Capote to Kansas during much of his fact-gathering for In Cold Blood.
