. . . that I had a VERY exhausting weekend at a women’s retreat in Illinois, and I’m a little too tired now to summarize it, other than to say that it was refreshing, thought-provoking, and AWESOME.
But to tide you over until the next installment of Brooke-ness, may I present the Best PSA Ever? It even features a bartender joke, which is a big part of Shirts family culture:
I love how the Brit celebs are reading all kinds of stuff (magazines, trashy romance, non-fiction, spy novels, cookbooks, websites) not just “literature.” It makes me soooo happy. This is what public librarianship is all about, folks.

That’s the funniest commercial! Thanks for sharing. Kudos to the Brits! (Although I had no idea those folks were celebs.)
I’d love to hear a report on Illinois. Was there anyone there from Minnesota??
