so it was thanksgiving this weekend – i think – and i did a bit of reading…

“talk of the tide” by john forney – got the book when i was a sophomore in high school – read it then – so a reread after a bazillion years – enjoyed it – lots of sports talk that seems new really isn’t (for instance: the talk about bama playing for a national title while not having a crack at the SEC title isn’t new historically) – enjoyed seeing signatures of guys i met years back – good oral history

“drama” by john lithgow – barney’s dad on “how i met your mother” – the leader in “3rd rock” – movie/theater guy for years – harvard grad – very creative – very down-to-earth account of his life – good gifted tidbits about persevering – about dealing with success – about pursuing dreams

“the running doc’s guide to running” – something like that – anyway, the race medical lead doctor of the rock ‘n roll marathon series and one time doc for the ING marathon (new york) outlined basic ways to be healthy and run – and how to troubleshoot problems – when to see the doctor – great, great read – after reading books about injuries and running for years, this one actually had some useful info – and was helpful – refreshing read about a subject i know a bit about

finished romans and 1 corinthians this week – also finished my magazines – found an article in “the economist” about roundabouts instead of stoplights interesting – b/c there are roundabouts in my subdivision – nobody knows how to use them, but at least they don’t die in crashes b/c of them (like head on things at lights)

hope your blogging/finishing nanowrimo is great
