I know y’all have read The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith — in fact, I see at Amazon that it’s the Today Show Book Club #8, so presumably Katie Couric has read it by the light of a colonoscope — but I just read it. Very enjoyable, if a bit self-conscious. I now know 100% more about Botswana than I did before I read it, which is totally shameful but there you have it. (Anyone have any links to Botswana blogs? I couldn’t find any…)

And, while continuing to be hopelessly out of date, a couple of nights ago, our family watched Groundhog Day. I saw it when it came out, I saw it again a few years later, and possibly one time more. Fun for the entire family, even those of us who generally don’t like movies that don’t have sword fights. Learning to do one day right: A good lesson about lessons.

Later: Ethan Zuckerman found a couple of semi-bloggy Botswanan things in English: A volunteer with a church in Botswana, and Mmegi “…not a blog, but an interesting daily paper.”
