Re: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest....Larsson

I am so with you. I'm actually reading a Janet Evonavich book right now just to bring my spirits up. I actually got a chance to read the first Larsson book and thought it was sort of weird.

Re: Greetings from Asbury Park!!

Oh my goodness gracious! This is a small world! I lived in Leesburg for 6 years and have been to many different places in Loudoun County. Very cool! How do you like it? Has it really grown, like buildings everywhere, or is it like a small community now?

If they are above the Mason Dixion line then they are called Yankees. I was born in Virginia and moved up north and everyone was a Yankee to me.
