I posted my 'catch up' post, then saw you had done the same. Great minds.....

Only yours is more concise. Mine's more like a novel.

I love your catch up by numbers posts! Your fair ride reminds me of my post about ride...the "wacky caterpillar" post....you might get a kick out of it.;)

I just listened to a book on tape that was 20 CDs long. It took forever. In the end I liked it but it took a while to get moving.
