I finally got “Bringing Down the House”, by Ben Mezrich from my local library. It’s fascinating. I like stories starring smart people doing odd things. Matthew checked out Yertle the Turtle, by Dr. Suess.
I can hardly believe his attention span when it comes to a new book. At home we are working through Black Beauty, one chapter per night, at bed time. He is fascinated.
Hopefully, I’ll avoid library fines and get these back in time for a change. I managed it last time, thanks to the handy “get an extension” library web interface.
I am going sailing this weekend in the Apostle Islands in my homeland. I can’t wait. I’ll be on the Water Music. I’ll be doing about half the cooking on our boat. It should be a good time. I haven’t been since 2000 I believe.

That pic reminds me a lot of Pictured Rocks in the U.P. One of the things I miss most about Superiorland, aside from the Porkies.
Sounds like a great trip!
