Jodi Anthony,
Honored? Why? Just curious.
After accepting you as a friend I noticed that you have 900 or so friends and they all seem to be female. Any significance to that observation?
I see that you're reading the Time Travelors Wife. Are you enjoying it? Have you read any other books about Time Travel? If you have a recommendation for a good one I'm in the market for a new book and Time Travel/Sci Fi intrigue me.
Have a great weekend.
Jodi
