bonjour!
so you have monday off – enjoy it (if you’re reading this monday sixth grade, you don’t have to blog today – although, if you do, then you don’t have to blog another day) – i have a meeting – fun – and then time at the school – which i’m planning to devote to solving world hunger – or i’m just so awesome… 🙂

as for reading…
“the truth about santa claus” – great book by mome – i think that was his name – basically used cutting-edge science to explain some of santa – who apparently is a new yorker who’s been equipped by aliens for some time to use wormholes and building-atom guns to deliver happiness to the world – again, great read

“caffeeine for the creative mind” – an exercise book about ways to build creativity – i enjoyd the book – there were 250 exercises – maybe six of them caught my eye – the other 40 just basically looped every 40 pages (so like the same idea came up six different times – and i’d be like “didn’t i see that idea about 40 pages ago???” – i guess i stumbled on the difference between adult and teen fiction – in adult books, the author assumes your life is too busy to read the whole book very quickly – or at all – and so the main idea or ideas are just repeated a bunch to fill up pages)

as for rest, i’m up to ezra now in my quest to finish the old testament, i read about how calorie-restricted specimens in a lab not only lived longer but gave birth to specimens that lived longer (i guess you too can increase your life span from 8 to 12 days if you’re a microorganism and reading this blog), i read how david price of the rays is a nice guy (and how bama is the best team in the country – sports illustrated seemed to miss on that one this week), and i read a piece about using smartpens in the classroom as i ran my final long run before my 1/2 marathon race in the hills of tennessee – just three weeks away (joy)

must return to “war of the worlds” by hg wells – for some reason, this is the week to read about aliens…
