getting ready for the season of dvd watching by readin’ books

well, this was the week to take care of oodles of other items – not much reading – still, i went from john through 1 corinthians in bible reading – finished my “prayer book of the nations” – 1000 pages of it – took five months, but i finished with zambia and zimbabwe

as for books, i finished “two wars” – it was sad – the guy fought in three wars and had severe difficulties returning stateside – go figure – i ordered “espn 30 for 30: volume 2” – it became available this week – there are a few on that set that i’m looking forward to seeing – one about a runner named terry fox – and i had his book – the 20th anniversary edition – and read it in a day – gripping story – fox had cancer in ’76 – in ’80, he ran for cancer research across canada – on one leg (the other leg was lost to cancer) – he ran until september when he had to stop – went to the hospital – he died (the cancer reoccurred) a year later – very tragic – but in his short life, he made a difference – over $24 million has been raised in his name through the years – and since none of us are guaranteed our next breath, it was a good reminder

hope your week is great – happy last week
