you may have noticed the "compliments" on our site posted in the comments section, usually with a discreet hyperlink at the bottom of the page. In order to prevent these sub-human chips of cosmic excrement from profiting off of the irritation of my readers and possibly even luring some of the less wary into purchasing pharmaceuticals of dubious origin, de finkibus will hereby require a simple word identification test in order to screen out comments posted by adverbots. I apologize for the inconvenience and trust you will continue to grace our page with your thoughts and responses.The Management

You went to Stillwater, huh? What a fab town! Amanda and I went there around Christmas of 2004-- in fact, we're guessing that was the beginning of Olivia's existence. eh hem. Ah the wonders of the bookstores in that town!
The World Cup is brewing here today; especially since England is still playing (today at 4pm). The pubs will be hopping! Glad to see you are back.
Fab indeed. My wife grew up there. Well, in Lake Elmo, actually, the next town over, but she went to high school at Stillwater. Did you visit the Loome Theological Bookseller when you were there? They claim to be the largest secondhand theological bookstore in the world. I always spend a nice, long afternoon (or two) perusing the shelves whenenver we're home. This time I bought a copy of George Steiner's book, Real Presences with marginalia by Robert Wilken. And the cool thing about Loome's is that they know enough about books to know that Wilken's notations increase the value of the book, rather than decrease it. Cool place.
Yeah; I visited Loome's and the Antiquarian Book seller down the street (on Main street?) very near the River for the Philosophy section (which I found fairly intoxicating)--especially the Medieval room.
Maybe sometime in the future we'll go back there on holiday with Olivia---anything is possible. Like the fact that a beach bum from SoCal is going to spend his entire summer reading a less(er) known theologian from Paris at the end of the 13th c..
