ok so yeah- life goes on. the yankees lost in the first round again. maybe it was joe torre's last game, maybe it wasn't, but because of the yankees tough start we get a baby before next season begins. today audri and i did a lot of work at 7L to prepare for the upcoming cattle sale. i am really excited, and have chosen to ride a bull for a local charity. sale guest will be able to put down a pledge for every second that i stay on the bull. i am somewhat nervous because the last time i rode on an animal it was a disaster ( an elephant in 98'....... long story ), but this is for a good cause.
Book Updates....
I recently finished BOOMSDAY by Christopher Buckley, I really enjoyed his style and the way the story progressed, until it got to the end. for some reason i'm really into novels right now, and like many of the novels i've recently read, this one seemed to just sorta end. like the author realized -I BETTER END THIS. all in all i would give it a B-
when i went into my office to grab another book, i reached for The Beauty That Heaven Bears- authors name unknown. a quater of the way though, i am realllllllly not into this book, but i shall prevail.
today i went out and bought THE RUINS - by scott smith. i thought i bought is book about 6 months ago, but i bought the road (cormac mccarthy) so today i succeded and got the right book. i also bought the echoing green by joshua prager, it is about the 1952 NLCS brooklyn dodgers, and new york baseball giants. i am so excited about reading this book, so i'll have the boring book finished by then.
next i am going to read static, my blondheaded sister in law recommended it to me, she is a reader, so i'll take her word for it.
off to see the wizard........................... the wonderful wizard of sleep.
