—Lady Bird Johnson
Today in Literary History...
On this day in 1928 Maya Angelou was born in St. Louis, as Marguerite Johnson. Angelou has said that her remarkable and varied life -- prostitute, dancer, actor, writer, activist, educator, academic -- has been made possible by a "remedy of hope" made from reading, courage, and "insouciance."

Life In Year One
I actually just wanted to mention that I love the new header. I can't remember when you changed it, but everytime I've come here recently I'm struck by how much I love it!
Great stuff this week!
Life in Year One sounds really neat! Especially since I just read Borg's Jesus. :)
