The Town of Odyssey

Woohoo! Pi Day is here again. Love the gif tradition continuing, bookworm!

I'm reading "Experiencing Go's Love: A Year of Abundance" by Sandra Byrd. She's great at writing fiction and non-fiction.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Hmm. Odd.

I hope you enjoy it! I still haven't seen the first one. My brother asked if I wanted to see the second one because he forgot I hadn't even seen the first one (after which I claimed victory in a totally unrelated old watching-a-movie-in-theatres-related dispute based on if he forgot that, he could h...

I'm starting "Heirlooms" by Sandra Byrd. I've enjoyed many of her other books, so I'm looking forward to this new one!

Absolutely! Only once every four years...most of the time. I believe 2100 is the next leap year "skipped" to keep things on track with the Gregorian calendar.

Thanks Patterson, I didn't know about this. I don't have time to listen now, so I bookmarked it for later.

I know there are lots of big Wicked fans, so a poor movie version would be way worse than none at all. I hope it turns out better than you're thinking right now, bookworm.

I've never seen Wicked but it seems to be one of those famous things. I like musicals in general, so if I heard this was good I might see it. Sometimes a theatre to film transition can be tough.

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing, Jonathan. I never would have known that or recognized it.

I watched part of it. Not quite my genre. I went and did my dishes and when I came back to the living room, it was almost over. It seemed very long. However, I did see a comment online from someone who thought it was great (Milt Stegall, CFL legend and commentator) so there's that.

I keep buying boxes of naval oranges advertising the year of the dragon (not sure what the connection is there) Not connected to this year specifically, but oranges and tangerines are a big part of Chinese New Year festivities in general. Okay, that makes sense. It seemed like a random place to me,...

I keep buying boxes of naval oranges advertising the year of the dragon (not sure what the connection is there) so I did know that little factoid. That's a beautiful image, bookworm!

Wow, thanks for sharing so many of your favourites, Bananareader! Isaiah 40:31 that you quote first is one of my favourites as well.

I kind of forgot about this movie, but your post does not inspire me to go find it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kaida. This sounds like a miss.

Awesome, happy to hear it.

We have had a couple of first posts with atypical elements recently. Not quite sure what to chalk that up to! Either you mean something different than what I'm thinking regarding the preview button, or it's you, or it's fixed. Try again - it just worked for me! If it still doesn't work, Petrichor po...

hi marvin, i do remember this. i remember doing it one time when i was a mere child and receiving a kind, but stern private message from a moderator who explained that this was behavior that we do not do here. that's why i triple posted instead of double posting here. also, do we even have mods any...

Hey Joshua, welcome to the ToO! I don't know if these things are theoretically possible, as that isn't my area of expertise, but I suspect that they won't happen at least in the immediate future. What menu do you want always at the top of the page? I'm used to the way things currently are, but if I'...

We've actually made it to 18 years or so - even more amazing! It's always nice to have ToOers stop by. Good to hear that you're doing well.
