so last week was a blast – managed to survive a 17-mile run this morning in about 95 percent humidity:)

you’ll notice reading is way down – still reading sports illustrated, runner’s world, and the like – but with media days last week, I read some of the football media guides – which i’m not counting – unless I lose to annMarie on the book count

“the poverty of nations” – great book for the middle school classroom – particularly my gifted one – because it’s an understandable (to the reader) look at what makes nations better off – and what some nations in poverty can do to raise their standard of living – the fact that the authors included a defense of their Christian faith made it all the better for me – but again, it’s definitely something my students could follow and I thought that was outstanding for an economist and a theologian

okay, so has the countdown for summer begun yet? that’s hard to do with days like today – although, I wish summer would go away… 🙂
