Follow up, mostly on Jeeves

Just to recap Sunday's lovely afternoon in the park: Midwesterners, all of your worst fears have been confirmed. People who live in Brooklyn really do flounce about in parks sipping refined alcoholic beverages and discussing British novelists. John Edwards is right--there really are two Americas. As a former Michigan resident, I'm just pleased that I wound up in the one with Jeeves.

In case anyone wants to do some additional reading, I've got links here to things discussed:

• Frankly, you should all just read this Wikipedia entry about Jeeves, because there are some fabulous facts (for instance, Jeeves once resigned a job because of his employer's eccentric choice of evening dress).
  
• Here are the two stories narrated by Jeeves: 'Ring for Jeeves' and 'Thank You Jeeves.'
  
• It is a real bummer that the Jeeves and Wooster television series never worked out because just look at this list of characters.
  

We should have August's book up soon. Megan is hosting this month, which means no end to the great streak that we've been on.
