alright, i admit i’m well rested and ready for three more weeks of silliness…

“the keeper” – tim howard – US goaltender – soccer/football – insightful book – the author/collaborator was the same that did the HS BOB “Positive” – howard has tourette’s – he also has a failed marriage – so the book was about struggles – about the fact that there’s more to someone than just what’s on the field – it was pretty sad at points

“the primates of park avenue” – funny book that has a sad turn at the end – but the author, an anthropologist, studies her new surroundings – living in the upper east side of new york – and the book is about how she fits in – with $10,000 purses, finding apartments and preschool, going to the fitness places, getting the surgeries to stay youthful – just an amazing other life i didn’t know anything about – of course, i kept reading it thinking, “wow, at the money that’s wasted” – she estimated that it takes at least $95,000 a year for the upkeep of an upper east side wife
