The rest of the story...
Well, the rest of the library story is that AFTER I had spent several days turning my house nad van upside down looking for the book that I was pretty ding-dang sure I had already turned in, I visited the library, ready to do battle. I was going to search the library shelves until I found that book myself and then ask that they remove all the fines from my account. When I got there, the employees were busy, so I just logged on the computer and checked my account. There was no record of the book. I asked the ladies at the counter about it, and was told, "Oh, if it's not on your account, then it's been found." Nice. Could you have dropped me a line to let me know before I wasted good time looking for it? Before you caused me to doubt my fool-proof plan to keep my children from losing library books? But the good part is that I do not have to fight with the library, which is close to city hall. And you know what they say about city hall. And also I was right. And my faith in my library book return system is restored. I'm sorry I doubted you.

i think you should post more than quarterly.
first of all, i am going to agree with kate about the frequency of your posts. second, your library story causes me to reflect on the times i have torn apart our cars, our house...prepared elaborate defenses only to find out that "the library" is very forgiving.
the public library is a good thing and.....having fun isn't hard, when you have a library card!
