things are much better than they were a few days ago. i did a full 50 minutes of tai chi and felt a bazillion times better after that. gradually my usual vim and vigor has returned.
unfortunately for our little band of bohemians, dear curly came down with a stomach virus thursday evening. we didn’t […]
ah, much better…
new moon - stephenie meyer
the second book of the ‘twilight’ series followed the pattern of the first. to me these books tend to be a bit unevenly paced, but still a fun read. something keeps me going despite my frustration with how the main character reacts to certain things. of course as the whole book is written in first […]
by the river piedra - paulo coehlo
a gorgeously written, poetic book about love and loss. much like grayson, this is a quiet, subtle book that tells a simple story. the depth of emotion throughout caught me by surprised and the questions that were raised had me thinking for a good couple of days.
angels & demons - dan brown
yes, this book also begins with a murder. robert langdon’s first adventure was just as good as ‘the da vinci code’ which i loved. it’s hard to write about this book without getting too spoilery, but suffice to say that many of the twists and turns will catch you more than off guard, despite thinking […]
grayson - lynn cox
grayson is a simple story in plot. a baby gray whale becomes separated from its mother and a young swimmer takes on the task of reuniting the pair. swimming for hours (the author is a marathon swimmer) lynn takes us on a journey of the heart as well as showing all the beauty that she […]

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
