ah, the pleasures of rainouts – or the misery…

(misery in my opinion – although, connect 4 is pretty fun – except when you’re getting drubbed by the evil mastermind cameron j)

i haven’t mentioned it, but i am rereading the Bible – try to do that once a year – started in mid-january – i’ve made it to 1 kings – so progress – just takes a while – my thought on that so far is that david did a bunch of things wrong to be a guy after God’s own heart – of course, israel had the same issue…

“talk of the game” – baseball announcers history book – great read – made me feel warmer just reading it (i do so love baseball) – plenty of stories i’d already heard – but plenty i hadn’t – particularly, the interviews with the announcers who do the spanish stations’ cast

“destiny of the republic” – story of james garfield’s assassignation – and the madman who did it – and alex bell who almost invented a device to save the president – had not the doctors been so dumb – great history read – didn’t know much about garfield – the writer kept trying to tie garfield into lincoln – but lincoln’s death was way different – and lincoln had eight years with the country – garfield got two months

“cc pyles amazing race” – reread of the 1928 race across the country – 70 mile days near the end – amazing…

“star wars” by george lucas – i’m guessing he wrote this to accompany the movie – he later got people to take care of such for him – this one wasn’t that good – like reading chris paolini (long on words and adjectives – little on substance)

got a few preview copies coming in next week that i’m pumped about – enjoy the last week before finals (which is the last week before break!!!)
