oh, the questions that keep me up at nights…

“not exactly a love story” – cute book – new book – YA – i guess high school – those are the characters – easily read – for some reason, set in 1978 – really could’ve been any time – guy cold calls a girl – the girl of his dreams – at midnight – and he botches the call (really, really bad) – so then he starts calling her every night – sort of an idiot stalker at first – beautiful lover in the end – ah… anyway, it wasn’t bad – read quick – and that’s all i can ask out of such books – maybe a high school BOB next year???

“i still believe” by far my favorite book of the week – by singer jeremy camp – it’s hard to believe i’ve known camp and his songs for longer than my sixth graders have been alive – anyway, his book is history – the reasons behind some of his songs – he was widowed at 22 – met, married, honeymooned and the wife came back with bad cancer news – all that i knew – more about his hope – how he got through it – i didn’t know – for 130 pages, definitely a recommendable read – and, of course, i had to download the one album i don’t have of his afterward:)

currently reading a book about economic theory – i suppose this is the last week of journals – so hope you have fun with them

“For Julie”
By Mayfield

Three years of your books
and how to reply?

Three years of your ups,
three years of your downs
and how to reply?

Three years of Giants baseball,
of classmates in and out,
band/drama/Scholar’s Bowl
and then it’s all gone
and how to reply?

Goodbye – harsh, I know
for this was the reply
but this is also the end
and there’s no
reply to silence.
