okay, so obviously the blog was down for the weekend – sorry about that…

“william t. sherman” – biography on civil war leader – who actually served as head of the military for 15 years afterward – as i told my dad last week, it’s interesting b/c the guy used to be known for burning up the south – today though, the eco havoc he reigned with the buffalo and with the native americans would get him in much hotter PC trouble – history is always changing like that – great read

“trusting teachers with school success” – i had high hopes for this book – and then i realized i wasn’t a teacher that could be trusted – and so i skim read through the rest to get to…

“racing weight” – the one and only book about endurance athletes and keeping/holding/losing weight – fascinating read – there was a lot more there than i suspected – the author knew much more than i thought might be in there – and so i took my time and enjoyed the book – and learned a few things (like why eating right after long runs is significantly better than not)

“dl moody” – this one was finished sunday – after i usually blog – so i give permission to write about this one next week – i always fear i won’t finish a book in a week – anyway, moody was an influential Christian thinker in the late 1880s/1890s – even though he really never went to school – i guess that means he never had to deal with a blog being moody…

one week to break, five weeks to boston
