Yay, lefthanded guitar! If you can read only five books in you're lifetime, To Kill a Mockingbird has to be at the top of the list.

And the movie. A line I remember from the movie that really got through to me was when the case was over, Atticus had lost, and they were filing out of the courtroom. Scout is sitting in the balcony with a large group of people. They all rose to their feet. Then one of the older men says to Scout, "Stand up, Louise. Your Daddy's, passin'!"

Got kinda choked up. . . .
