There are a bunch of weird connections between this book and the Sox, though. For insance, The migrating people are known as "Okies," which makes me think of Okajima everytime I cross the word. Also, the Sox (in additon to being really tired) made me mess up pretty badly in English today. There's a character named Jim Casy, and I was talking about him in a discussion; I said something like, "When Sean Casey said 'blah, blah...' on page #...." The class looked at me and were asking who in the world Sean was because he definitely wasn't a character in the book. Then it hit me that I subconsciously replaced Jim with Sean and I (unsucessfully) had to try to explain this to the class. Time for me to read more “Grapes of Wrath,” I guess…

Note to folks here who sent me e-mails: I will deal with them either tomorrow or more likely Wednesday! Tomorrow is the primary here in NC, and I have to fit in voting after work and before the game. Anyway, this has been fun, even though I spent most of the evening in the other room w/the game. Y'all have a great night!
