TO READ OR NOT TO READ
HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY!
The photo is of Hamlet's Castle
The most famous ghost tale of all time has more to do with greed than anything else. But the questions is, “How interesting can an old dead dude really be?” And how exciting could an ancient bookworm seem - even a well-known writer like William Shakespeare?
Listen and you might be surprised.
Shakespeare's stories are often tales of tragedy, murder and mayhem and they are still able to captivate young audiences. His stories are sometimes set in awesome structures.
What kid can resist a mystery set in a beautiful but haunted castle? Hamlet is just such a story.
Shakespeare weaves his web of deception in Denmark. It is here, where this tale of deceit, greed and betrayal begins. This story is the reason behind the famous saying, "There's something rotten in the state of Denmark."

ANSWER TO THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY AND EARTH-FRIENDLY FRIDAY
ANSWER TO THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY: It's in Dillon, Colorado: The Arapahoe Basin, with a summit elevation of 13,050 feet.
NOW FOR EARTH FRIENDLY-FRIDAY: I thought I'd start a post with links to other sites that have some great information about living green. Here's one and here's another: who wouldn't love Eco-Women: Protectors of the Planet?
Please add some more links to my COMMENTS section so I can add a sidebar with linkage love.

Portland, Oregon (Is it P.O. or BO 'cause that just stinks)
Thought for Thursday: What ski area is the highest in the United States?
Come back tomorrow to find out the answer. But first, take a guess.
And now, this is one of those things that makes you say, "HUH?"
I told you all how Portland is one of the top ten places in the country where you can walk around the city, well now they say Portland is the unhappiest place on Earth, according to Business Week. Huh???
How can this be? We have the riverwalk, the Esplanade. Portland is beautiful, an hour to the snow covered mountain, Mt. Hood, one and a half hours to the beach, 2 and a half hours to the desert, and we are smack-dab in the valley, with the Gorge being famous for windsurfing. How can anyone be unhappy here?
