nature pauses as we pause – it sort of works out – except for my master plan of short shorts and workin’ on the tan this week… 🙂
“something in the air” – story of the 1968 olympics – most of which i knew – all tied together in one book – i guess what i’d forgotten was that the olympic trials weren’t the actual trials – the US committee later made the track athletes go to arizona and run at altitude – so people that had thought they were on the team ended up not on the team – which i find heartbreaking
“when winning was everything” – story of the 300 football players from university of alabama that fought in WWII – lots of stories of heroism – which, sadly, has gone unrecorded – so many men went off and fought and then never told their stories – this book tried very late to get stories from those men – and their families – the pictures of tuscaloosa during the war was interesting – really liked the book
“wright brothers” – orville lived to see the atomic bomb dropped from a plane – one of the many details from the book that i found amazing – he and his brother took scientific thought to a practical level with their planes – for three years, they built and designed and flew – establishing themselves as the first – they really had a less tragic time of it all than the way most biographies read – there weren’t dark secrets to reveal – their father lived to at least 88 years of age – great story of highly creative people
probably will have april as a poetry month – we can post poems – and lick them:)
j
first?
This blog is strangely deserted…
Like a ghost town…
about like the rest of this state – i feel like i’m in the book series “left behind” – especially since detective has been left:)
20 pages edited in Binder Girl’s adventures – i feel like i’ve been productive for the week
Five episodes of Star Trek have been watched. I have not been productive at all.
my bracket goes from having 7 of 8 of the Elite Eight to 1 of 4 of the Final Four? The only one I got right was Kentucky.
not bad – you can excuse the bracket as meaning that you were daring, didn’t go with the odds-on favorites – although, maybe this evidence points to a future career outside of vegas billy…
40 pages edited, house mortgage paid down, lots of angel season 2 watched – and after running, some guy at the park told me the cops got on him for not wearing pants last year – okay, that one was way awkward…
Happy April Fool’s Day!!
Wow, no blogs on April first. Sounds like some kind of rediculous joke.
i tried for several hours – april first wishes – but alas, the rabbits that run the program were on break – which is why they must be destroed in the girl’s bathroom…

12 pages away from finishing the edit of binder girl and killer kate
You would want to be in Andersonville, Georgia with the pick your own death junior ranger program (big civil war prison). At least we are near the baskin robbins/dunkin donuts building.
Nice poem mr.maymay…. Nice.
Eheheheh….. X-)
finished the edit of binder girl – and kate – and maybe detective
took out all of the mentions of detective’s troubled young sister loki-ette – maybe that story wrinkle will be for next year…
I FINISHED 2 MAXIMUM RIDE BOOKS IN ONE DAY! Lemm’e tell ya, those things are pretty long… And very intence. “I VILL DESHTROY ALL DE SNICKHAS BAHRS!”
Intense….
bri, the easter bunny will leave you coal if you destroe or deshTroy snickhas bahrs
true story, detective was banned from egg hunts as a small child b/c she was so good at spotting eggs – that, and she’s a detective, of course, so solving for missing eggs is right up her pipe (pipe of bubbles)
“I vill deshtroy all the snickhas bahrs” is a quote from Maximum ride: Saving the world and other extreme sports
would that be maximum ride: snickers edition???
b/c my memory is of 1,000 maximum ride books…
