Very tacky socks I bought in 1987 when I was 18 and visiting London for the first time. Of course 21 years later I still have them so I'm not sure what that says about me???

And I wanted to share this....



This is a funny and enjoyable novel I read a little while ago. The adoption organization I work for brought the author, Alison Larkin, out this last weekend to do a show as she is an adoptee who was born in Washington DC, but was immediately adopted by a British couple. She was raised in Great Britain and lived in Africa for several years with her family. As an adult she learned that her biological parents were from the American South. At one point in her comedy act she states in her crisp British accent how she learned she is really a redneck. It was such a pleasure to see her perform live and meet her in person.
