okay,
so i likely would’ve spent my time last week writing away BUT… i got a call from the library and got three books i’d requested – so it turned into a reading week instead of a writing one…

“american saint” – was actually in the paper yesterday – samford u gave it an award for its awesomeness – it was a good book about asbury – the founder of methodists in the united states – learned quite a bit about the role of methodism in early america – which i had previously known nothing of – asbury was likable as a late 18th century person as well

“a class apart” – should be familiar to you that read a chapter from it on friday – great, great book about a gifted high school in new york – i guess what i particularly liked was that the school isn’t a stickler for rules, and the kids excel (sometimes i forget that rules aren’t super important and not ends to themselves – i know, shocker…)

“an honorable run” – by matt mccue – one of the better books i’ve read this year – matt wrote about his high school and college cross country coaches – and the book was so good that i read it in a day – lots about running – moreover, a good book about what’s important in life and who’s important

nanowrimo does continue to roll along – i didn’t take a book to the bama game yesterday evening (if you were paying attention, you’d know that i finished the book – honorable run – before i got to the stadium) so i sat and brainstormed ways to take my story this week – and watched bama’s offense come to life – occasionally…
