Hermeneutics and Jane Austen

Hi all. Sorry for the silence around here and how I’ve completely ignored most comments and email this week. I’ve just felt really crappy and have had to limit my “stare at computer screen” time. So blogging today is just a couple of fun quizzes.

10-20-30 Virus

So Sonja tagged me for a really fun meme. A six degrees of separation/where were you sort of thing. It looks fun, so I’ll play.
