My Three Month Affair with Douglas Adams!


I spent April, May and June with Douglas Adams and Arthur Dent! Why? Out of pure curiosity! I was engulfed in Douglas Adams wit and sarcasm about philosophy especially life, the universe and everything! And finally learned the answer to it’s meaning…


I read these books for many reasons:

Reason #1 The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy is #4 on the Big Read list of best books to read.
It's a cool site check it out here

Reason #2: It’s a cult classic! Before the first of the 6-book trilogy (yes, trilogy J) it was a BBC comedy science fiction radio show in the 70’s! It was so popular that Douglas Adams published it in 1979!

Reason #3: The books are hilarious, witty, and nonsensical! 


Ick! No! Not that "movie"!
Reason #4: I watched the movie and to be honest I didn’t get it. I didn’t understand the movie at all! The movie was funny but I had to read the books to appreciate it. And, after reading the books the movie was just horrible!

Reason #5: For the pure pleasure of a good book(s)!


If you have a son or daughter I highly recommend the set as they are an easy read, funny, and enjoyed for decades by many people of all ages!

R.I.P.~World's Greatest Pug!

A lot has happened since I last blogged. Working too much to enjoy my hobbies and haven't been LBing much! Especially since JoJo died last June. He was my boxing buddy and is greatly missed!

JoJo's marker Born October 2008 Died June 30, 2013
JoJo Letterboxing Buddy- Not a picture-taker!
He was a great dog!
I haven't done much letterboxing since my move to Heppner. But, all that will change!
