The word of the day for April 20, 2007 is “sorority” — noun : a club of women; specifically : a women's student organization formed chiefly for social purposes and having a name consisting of Greek letters.
My sister came to stay the night on her way to Texas yesterday evening. She enjoys driving, so she is going by herself. I offered to feed her, but she said that hot dogs did not agree with her.
We traded books—something we almost always do when we meet. I had a couple of sturdy bags nearly full of her books. She had read those that I had bought in the past month. This time she only had a couple of small plastic bags with mostly hard bound books, including my copy of Heyer’s The Great Roxhythe. She had convinced me that I had taken it back, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I had just about decided the book had gotten loose and knocked out of the car somewhere. It surfaced while she was hunting for something else but finding things she didn’t realize she had lost. I hope she also found what she was looking for, because I forgot to ask.
The quote for today is from Anna Quindlen (b. 1952), U.S. journalist, columnist, author. The New York Times, sect. A, p. 21 (January 19, 1994):
I’ve been a babe, and I’ve been a sister. Sister lasts longer.
