so i’m thinking tomorrow’s faculty meeting needs to be cut short so i can go get in line for “breaking dawn: part II” – you know, because i just can’t wait to see the thing and all… 🙂

“ransom road” – book about redeeming the roads you’ve travelled in life – the first chapter was at the boston marathon – ah, memories – good ones for me:)

“run for your life” – maybe – it was by jim axelrod – cbs correspondent – just in time for the election, i read a book about a guy that found his sanity by ditching politics and running the NYC marathon – great book from the gifted angle b/c it looked at the whole issue of what you do when your parents appeared perfectly successful to the world – but really weren’t great to you personally – the issue of what you do when you can’t match their worldly success, but you’re a better human being

“believe” by eric legrand – got from the north shelby library – great YA nonfiction book about the rutgers’ lineman who was paralyzed two years ago – very sad book, but a great motivating book about seizing the day – the moment – and being thankful for those around you (he has an incredible mother that is his caregiver – and that can wear on a person – i know)

i also read – reread – a book on alabama prep football by ron ingram and rubin grant – two gentlemen i covered high school football with for a while – great book – much better than trying to rally the bama team during commercial timeouts (or tuning out the kid to my immediate left who was trying to put a hex on the aggies by dancing gangum style – yes, i’ve now gone from having my father as a seat buddy to some random fifth grader – sad…)
