Scott,
Kelly Clarkson is no Clarence Thomas, you’re right. But, she is much better than Randy Jackson… namely, she actually has talent and doesn’t overuse the word “dawg!”.
MZ,
Daddy Long-Legs was a miraculous find, as far as I’m concerned. It’s like my soulmate in book form, if that’s possible. As for Harris’ concept - thankfully I did practice it in high school, even if I wasn’t necessarily a huge fan at the time of my parents’ insistence that I maintain singleness throughout high school, haha. There are certain chapters that I still re-read every so often just for encouragement. Rebecca St. James wrote a book that is worth an honorable mention as far as my book list goes. Her “Wait for Me” is incredibly inspiring in the romantic way she approaches waiting.

I have read 1. and 5. The others sound interesting though. I have never heard of daddy long legs!!! 5. was a crack up. And 1. i do think is exactly what you said… using time of singleness properly. It’s a very special time in life. I also like his concept of not dating or seeking when you aren’t in a place that you feel you are ready to seriously think through marriage! If ONLY I would have practiced that more in H.S.!

I have to admit that I am officially jealous that Justice Thomas gets to share his birthday with you. The only contemporary famous person (famous as in “I know that name…”) I could find that I share my birthday with was singer Kelly Clarkson, if I remember right, an American Idol winner.
