i read a book last week – yes, just one – took the week – “william cooper’s town” – read it in ’97 – my sophomore year at bama – you too can read my copy at the public library – anyway, cooper sort of modeled the 1790-1810 time period fairly well – and one of his sons became one of the first famous american authors – so it was a good read – good background for rip van winkle and sleepy hollow preparation – and good b/c cooper’s town eventually came to house the baseball hall of fame (even though the author pointed out that the town outlawed ballplaying in the 1830s)

of course, i read the Bible – new testament – luke – and my magazines – sports illustrated (two good soccer articles about why the US may have to wait a while to get better) – the economist (learned about problems in the ukraine) – harper’s weekly (in contrast to the economist, the article i read this week things that britain’s capitalism is destroying the nation) – and running times – some good info about recovery runs

hope your week is great – maybe last week of journals for some of you nanowrimos

sincerely,
mafeld
