I just added this to the Comma section

• After a name used in address: Indiana, sit down.
• Before a name when used in addressing someone: Welcome to the show, Indiana.
• After a greeting: Hello, how are you?; Welcome, have a seat.

happy birthday
» ‎ Joanna's Ramblings

Happy birthday Mummy. You would have been 62 today. We would have, of course, given you stick about “senior’s cards” and such accoutrements of “old age”, and you would have laughed with us. Last night James, Mel, your gorgeous grandson Guy and I got together to celebrate your birthday. Guy is such a smiley baby. [...]

Comment on you’re gonna bring that volume down by jen
» ‎ Comments for the twinkle in my eye

I have to add re: art- I actually did the window thing with Pat a few weeks ago after seeing it on playschool, but they did it a little differently: first there was a cardboard “frame” that you stuck the sticky-side-up contact on first so it makes it easier to handle. Also they’re teaching Patrick how to use scissors at daycare so we let him chop up little pieces of cellophane to use first. He loves it. e have sent them to the grandparents, and all the aunts and uncles are next.

Body of Work
» ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

I heard this today on the Writer’s Almanac podcast. I wished that I could write something like it. That is somewhat doubtful. I can, however, link to it easily enough so that you can enjoy it, too.

i like my body when it is with your
body.

Table Tennis
» ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

Today I took about a dozen student to a table tennis competition which was a nice change. They were really well behaved and it was a good day. Best of all, I played a couple of games again two students and then a doubles match. I won the singles and lost the doubles. More importantly, I really enjoyed just playing. It was good dumb fun.

The Children of Men
» ‎ Mark O'Meara: the blog

Last night I finished P D James’ novel Children of Men. As the story went on, I noticed how different it was from the film it inspired. It is a smaller story and goes deeper into the character of Theo and the nature of the dictatorship of his cousin Xan. The story is different and, especially towards the end of the book, having seen the film didn’t help me guess the ending at all.

In fact, the ending was a surprise and threw a whole new light on the whole story. Even better, this surprise was as believable as it was sudden.

This is not an exciting book or much of a page turner, but it is interesting and, looking back, I am really glad that I persisted with it.
