yo,
so that i remember and when i’m 50 i don’t read the same books again…

“work hard, study, and keep out of politics” – by james baker – really good book – former secretary of state – worked for reagan and bush 1 – also had a role in ford’s campaign for the presidency – for the most part, the book didn’t get into the “republicans are evil” or “democrats are evil” tendencies of the current bestsellers – so that was refreshing – some the lessons i remember were that you win metaphorical wars by winning every day battles – so in other words, always do the most that you can today so that you’re prepared for tomorrow – i enjoyed hearing about how rice university came about as well

outside of that book, most of what i read was magazine articles – i tried to follow britain’s  election – for some reason – and the spill in the gulf – read about the ny would-be bomber – read sports illustrated and about how the celtics are the old men in the nba playoffs

guess that’s it for now – will eventually need to start summer reading, i suppose

sincerely,
mafeld
