Our intrepid commenter A Teacher tells the story of how he published his NaNoWriMo book (and, of course, tells us how we can get a copy of it for ourselves). ( 0 comments)
Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry
Read the story here. Here’s the paragraph that would make clicking through worthwhile, if you’re still undecided:

A Little Side Project of Mine
As if I needed another blog! This one’s dedicated to translating some of the never-before-translated work of the French neo-Romantic poet Edmond Rostand, author of Cyrano de Bergerac and member of the Académie française.
Everyone knows Cyrano, of course, but much of Rostand’s lyric work has never been read in English before. I’m trying to change that, one poem at a time. ( 7 comments)

Thanks for this. My wife, daughter, and I needed it.
More importantly – Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the rest to you and yours.
Dude….so fine!
A Merry Christmas to all of my librul, conservative, relativist, pragmatist, and progressivist palsies and remember, “Jesus is the reason for the season.”
Our week previous was filled with children opening books that were much more subversive than their parents probably remember. Today was filled with phone calls to loved ones.
I hope all y’all had days as delightful as mine.
Happy Christmas or whatever it is that floats your boat this time of year.
Let’s hope 2010 is better than 2009.
Merry Christmas. And I’ve got to say that that song has made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up- it’s that good. I’m headed for the record store to see if they have the 45.
