The BBC website has many language options -- someone on one loop I'm on was using it for a highschool language credit:

Travel: Outerbanks Rentals

July 31, 2008
Outerbank Rentals -- check 281A and 281B
I'd like to spend a week in the Outer Banks -- the rooms mentioned are on the sound side but there's a long wharf. Might be a good option.

Because it's there...

Why would I try to start a blog at this time? It's there... that's all I can say. It's certainly not because I've got lots of time on my hands. I also don't know if I'm doing it for me as a form of diary and making sense of the world or for someone else.

I think I'll start with regular lists of books being read and websites open -- just to see where it goes...
