Comments on: God knows the temperature’s hot enough to hatch a stone http://blog.meaplet.com/2008/07/04/god-knows-the-temperatures-hot-enough-to-hatch-a-stone/ Just another WordPress site Sun, 12 Jun 2011 23:46:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marjorie http://blog.meaplet.com/2008/07/04/god-knows-the-temperatures-hot-enough-to-hatch-a-stone/#comment-41 Marjorie Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:23:20 +0000 http://meaplet.wordpress.com/?p=46#comment-41 This is much easier than answering the tree/forest question: yes, I will notice. Although your model is a little simplified: I think it was blog comment->my .plan->your .plan->my .plan->blog comment. We are such members of the information age, I may have to go lie down with a cool cloth on my forehead. It would appear that right after John Adams got a huge shot of publicity is an inopportune time to try to check out any Adams letters from the New York Public Library. But I have put them on my queue. Because having one's own love for something is better than love by proxy. This is much easier than answering the tree/forest question: yes, I will notice.

If you respond to a comment on my blog in your .plan, and I respond to your .plan in a comment in my blog, will you know? You love John Adams because everyone should. If it is just rubbed off on you, then it is the right kind of rubbing off. Go read the Adams/Jefferson letters and THEN you will have your own love of him. John Adams/Abigail Adams is my ultimate OTP for life. They have their own love stamp, for heaven's sake. This makes them better than anybody else. (The John/Abby letters c. 1776 are an acceptable alternative to the Adams/Jefferson letters 1804-1826, if you only want to read a single year, rather than 22 years) Marjorie: A corollary on the “tree falls in a forest” question.

I just ended up watching way too many 1776 fanvids on YouTube (Brokeback 1776 is surprisingly hilarious; I do not suggest the one that tries to make Dickinson sing "Sexy Back" as it doesn't work out that well). SK: I would love to see it again. But do you know what I would love even more? Spending time with you? I'm crazy busy through the weekend of July 20th, but I'd love to see you sometime after then? Marjorie: It's ok, I fail too if those are the standards. I haven't even read Joe Ellis's recent book--it's just been sitting on my bookshelf since I bought it on the way to visit you.

We just finished watching John Adams (please, please tell me you've watch it!) on Tuesday and were like, "shit, what will we do on the 4th?" Oh yeah, watch 1776. We'll watch it today though, oh yes.
