so there’s the CMS’ “Wedding of the Century” that day – and the grand parade through the streets of columbiana – the debut of the 2012 marching band, i guess – all on the same day – decisions, decisions – where are you people for advice when i need it???

“reagan diaries” – i think i mentioned i started this book last week – well, guess what??? it’s now done and returned to the county library – no pushing or shoving as you all collectively race to get it (secret message i wrote and left on page 530 for that special someone that follows to check the book out:)

anyway, the “diaries” were good – i would say that it empowered me to pick up my pen and write mine – but i stopped four years ago in protest of my life – it wasn’t worth writing about anymore – and i believe my protest is working so i’m sticking with it:)

okay, third try on a review – the book was good – good sense of what the president was thinking and dwelling during his reign – what consumed him – i imagine all diaries would reveal as much

“radical” reread book from my pastor at brook hills – and his sermon was matthew 28 today so it was pretty much sitting through the book again:)

“pym of nantucket” edgar allan poe wrote this book – his lone fictional novel/work – it’s an acquired taste – not your traditional poe with twisted darkness – a little more like what his peers were producing at the time – the good thing about the book is that you read it and see how jules verne could get his travel/sci-fi books 40 years down the road – one influenced the other – so while the first book (poe’s) isn’t that great and just sort of ends – odd plot development (either no climax or like two) – the fact that book influenced others made it bearable – and i don’t like poe generally so the book was actually an improvement for me – but poe lovers can be warned – stay away!!!

suppose that’s it – hope your liberty day week is wonderful
