I keep receiving letters and comments on the spelling reform. When I broached this subject more than a month ago, I was aware of the fact that some groups on both sides of the Atlantic still believe in the possibility of the reform. Thanks to several responses, I now know more about their activities. They organize conferences and publish books on simplified spelling. I am full of sympathy for their work, even though their voices are weak and the wilderness is vast. There is no need to repeat the arguments of the opponents, for they, like the arguments of the advocates, have not changed since the middle of the 19th century. I will only dwell on two. (more…)

On Sunday, Daughter, (who is a major league ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lisayee fan like her mother) and I went into NYC to meet...LISA YEE. We picked her up at her swanky hotel off Park Avenue, bundled her into my considerably less swanky and extremely dented Authormobile and whisked her off to Brooklyn, where we had a wonderful brunch at Auntie Susie's in Park Slope.
Daughter has a new BFF
and Auntie Susie herself took a picture of us all together after our yummy scrummy meal during which abundant chocolate was consumed:
Afterwards we hit some cool Brooklyn stores for what the French refer to as "Faire du Leche-Vitrine" (which means window shopping but is literally "window licking").
Lisa kindly bought Daughter some heart-shaped Peeps for explosion purposes, which Daughter enjoyed immensely:
Just how big of a Lisa Yee fan is my daughter? Well, the night before our brunch, I went into Daughter's room and she showed me she'd just painted her favorite characters from Lisa's trilogy.
Can I kvell a little here? Isn't she talented? Daughter, as well as Lisa?
Anyway, Daughter played the role of Peepy Paparazzi (Peeparazzi?) and you can
here's the TMZ photo essay which I tried to hide behind a LJ cut but failed miserably.
Peepy sampled the chocolate mousse
But then got carried away and went for my coffee
Peepy ended up looking like I've been feeling most of this week:
Then she started hitting the champers (Peepy, not my underage daughter, I hasten to add)
and ended up not making a whole lotta sense:
Started hallucinating
And then had to sleep it off
It was great to see Lisa and Peepy. Come back and visit soon!

so sue me, I love this
and no, you can't imitate her.
You have to come up with your own clever idea.
But this was damn good.

Richly deserved, warmest wishes to our very own Orion.
Here's why
Peepy must now be restrained at conferences...she's now an attack Peep.
I can't believe I came all the way to SCBWI and didn't meet Peepy.
That is officially at the top of my To-Do list for next time...
