    Hi Rose, nice to meet you. So, Texas, hey? To someone so far removed from the US, Texas conjures up all kinds of TV-inspired images. Friday Night Lights has recently hit our screens - do you watch it? Is it a faithful depiction of small town Texas?

    Hi Rose,
    Thanks for the invite! Word of warning: all those TV non-fic shows like Cold Case Files, AJ, FBI files, etc.? They're addicting. I know this first hand. :-)

    What a terrific Auden quote. I've always thought of him as a sort of Robin to Yeats' Batman. Perhaps I'll need to revisit his work.
