eastofthemoonIt's offical! Winter is on it's way. This morning there was frost on our car AND I could see my breath. Although it's not so bad. I actually like the first snowfall, it's the 128 of the seaons that can get on my nerves.
Also, I've made a startling discovery today for myself. Back in elementary school, one of the school's librarians read to my class (I think 5th grade or possible 4) which I had always thought was the original "Phantom of the Opera." Today I found out and realized that it wasn't the original, but Susan Kay's "Phantom" which still the story of the "Phantom of the Opera" only it tells it from the Phantom's point of view and his life story.
It's funny that I never found out until now, although at the time I thought it was weird that I could actually understand what the author was talking about considering most of the 19th century books I've found/force to read took awhile to digest like "The Tale of Two Cities" was a bit of a challenge, but keep in mind that it's just my opinion.
