Where we were this past weekend-- visiting my brother and his wife. I downloaded this picture from Flickr, a pretty cool site. In response to DaVinci's question, this photo is of Duluth, Minnesota. It is beautiful there. Cold in winter, though!

RSS feeds

I forgot to comment on Week 3 of Project Play-- I did subscribe to 10 RSS feeds. I'm not sure how much I will really check those, though. I have an IGoogle thing so I link things that I want to keep up with on that.

What I am currently reading

I have a list of books I've read or currently reading on the right of my blog. The book I am reading now is How Starbucks saved my life which is the account by Michael Gates Gill of how he lost his high-powered advertising job in New York and begins working at a Starbucks. Overall, I like it, though he does seem to name-drop a lot but hey, if I had met Hemingway, I would do the same! Someone asked me how I liked the book Water for elephants. I'd have to say it was one of the best books I've read lately. I loved reading about the circus and the people in it. Parts of the book will make you laugh out loud (at least I did!). But other parts will make you dread what is coming next. Thoroughly worthwhile read. Which brings me to our current assignment to invite comments-- have you read a good book lately or do you have any questions regarding my list of books?

Post wedding

This past weekend we were all consumed with my daughter Rachel serving as maid of honor at her friend Jenny's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding but hot. I hope to post a picture soon. This weekend we are off to St. Louis area to visit my sister-in-law. October is proving to be a busy month!

From the police blotter...

Okay, I couldn't even make this up. This was in our local paper in the police blotter section : Animal: A woman living in the 2100 block of S***** Drive reported that a fox was curled up on a patio chair and was refusing to leave. When she tried to chase it away it simply moved to a different chair and went back to sleep.
