Hi Gals, I thought I would post the Climbing Community's reaction to the Greg Mortensen ...scandel...discussion.. whatever.
I don't think old Greg is living in a mansion or anything.

The Earth Children Series Completed!
I am so excited I can hardly stand it. It has been 30 years since I started this series. I have given up, I have kicked,and screamed. I even wrote a letter to the author begging for her to finish. (I'm sure that was the tipping point!) At last my friends Ayla and Jondular return. Here is the official clip. I'll let you know what place I am on the library list!

Books to Movies
Craig and I went to a movie Friday night. (The King's Speech...as good as you've heard!) But I saw 2 previews for upcoming movies I thought you might be interested in.
1. Jane Eyre. It looked dark and kind of creepy (but in my humble opinion so is the book)
2. Water for Elephants. It looks really good. As one of my all time favorite books I can't wait. Shall we resurrect the outfits we had on for book club and go see it?

Malcolm Gladwell revisited
When I first read the tipping point I wrote about it,(Check out July, 2010) but now that we are reading it together for book club I am excited to revisit this author. Enjoy the two clips below, he is always fascinating....and if you're brave go to you-tube and see what you think about this controversial discussion starter! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uskJWrOQ97I
