MacGregor and MacRae, aye, there's a fine pair o' tartans ye be wearin' now.
(apologies to anyone Scottish for that sounding more like "pirate".)
I love doing these. I can't stop. Its an addiction I tell you.
My dentist when I was a kid used to wear plaid pants and cowboy boots. He was a character of the best kind. I adored him. He was 6'-4" at least and had a huge mustache. Dr. Banks. He'd come out into the waiting room and holler "NEXT VICTIM!".
Good times...

Kevin and I have teamed up again. Guardian Angel Publishing will release No More Gunk! - an ebook for kids about taking care of teeth. Another exciting development - this book along with Ouch! Sunburn! will be released together as a print book. They both address a children's health issue. Watch for more news soon!
Sarah Ellis wrote A Prairie as Wide as the Sea, which you mention, and if only I’d known about Lucy’s new favourite series, I could have let you know that Sarah herself was in Lucy’s home town only just last week to talk about her newest Dear Canada book, Days of Toil and Tears!
Darn! That’s the second close call we’ve had with Sarah Ellis — Mark was moments away from interviewing Sarah following her keynote at ALA last year.
Lucy has already begged us to pick up Days of Toil and Tears so watch for her review here this autumn…
Thanks for listening, Carol. I’m sure our paths will cross sometime, seeing as we’re at the Green Door every Friday for dinner!
