wow – the play was so good – well worth getting down to columbiana this afternoon – even if it meant i had to spend the hour beforehand trying to program, reprogram, deprogram, grandmother’s tv remote (it sort of works now, which really means it doesn’t work b/c she’ll never figure out a “sort of fixed” remote – so sort of fixing really did no good, sigh…)

anyway, every year, i’m blown away with the play – this year’s was the best i can ever recall – kudos to all the kids that had roles – just fantastic – i mean, the best i could say about it was that it interrupted nap time, i had gotten up at 4 today and run 18 miles before church – and yet, in a room w/o air, i still managed not to fall asleep – it was that good (or sam and brennan were that loud – or something…)

i did read though…

“confessions of a teenage nomad” – it was free on nook – and a quick read, like 183 pages, so it wasn’t a terrible torture – still, sort of a twilight-like novel where the misfit girl goes to a new school, and suddenly, the gorgeous guy loves her – and it’s all confusing to her – ah, young love – sick… 🙂

“east of eden” – finished early last week – wonderful book – like i said last week – i now want to find it on dvd and see james dean as caleb – i guess the thing i liked most about the book this time was how it addressed time – how, sometimes, if you wait long enough for it – things come back to a wonderful ending – if you can hang on – and as someone who struggles to hang on sometimes, that was a great lesson to reread

“the digital disciple” – book on how to be a follower of JC in the internet world – good read – i learned that none of you like e-mail b/c you can text quicker – which makes me feel old… the author closed the book by suggesting digital holidays – closing everything down sometimes so you can think – i think that’s important – one reason why i don’t keep net at home – that, and i don’t want to watch the red sox lose at home – i’d rather watch that at snap or read about it in the paper

nearing 40,000 words on “Battle of the Books” – my nanowrimo for this year

well, last blog for the year for you – write me something great…

love,
