My new BFT: Nancy

I have a new BFT !!!!

("Best Friend [Temporarily]")

Her name is Nancy.

I've seen Nancy around for years, on the bookshelves of libraries and used book stores.

It was never any appeal for me to meet her.  Wildly popular people usually don't need any new friends, so I never even asked for an introduction.

Then in a Mormon bookstore (weird, I know, but fascinating... if you ever have a chance, go through Deseret books in La Jolla... they even got a version of the Reasoning Book for Latter Day Saint missionaries) there were some non-religious books on sale, including Nancy Drew.

Only $2.99, hard-back reprints, and with the 75% sticker, only less than a dollar!  Unbelievable deal.

Book 1 was missing, so I picked up books 2 through 5.

Then I started book 2.   Now I'm on book 3.

I love Nancy Drew!

She's fun and her adventures are exciting. No wonder she's so popular.

Nancy, my new BFT, why didn't I introduce myself to you earlier?

She drives a convertible.  She solves mysteries. She's got a boyfriend and lots of other friends.  Not afraid of danger, she's also fashion-conscious.

In comparison, those dim-witted Hardy Boys are like half-canine simpletons.

Looking forward to spending more time with Nancy in The Bungalow Mystery (book 2) as soon as possible, hopefully tonight.
