so one last day without the kids tomorrow – just another day crying, wishing they were here…

“solo” – read the book for Ms. Blount – she was right – the first 30 pages probably not good for a middle school library – but the rest was great – good read

“snake” – biography on kenny stabler – sad book – he died way too early – and from CTE damage

“blue monday” – cool book about the 1981 Expos – a team that is now in DC as the Nationals – i love baseball – most baseball history is about the Yankees – or Dodgers – so reading names and events from a place outside that metro area is fun – this book was informative even though i knew – or thought i knew – a lot already

“around the world in 80 ways” – great little picture book – i hope to use some of it in seventh grade in the coming days
