How the Reading Thing Going? Here's How

This week I had the great pleasure of reading a friend's manuscript. Her book is coming out next year and I can't tell you about it yet but you can bet I will when it goes on pre-sale. For now I'll just say it's warm and funny and interesting and inspiring and boy oh boy do you have a good one to look forward to. That's right, I said boy oh boy. That's how serious about it I am.

Monday

We got home from the trip yesterday.
I picked up these guys today.
My question is, did they miss us or just the bed?

Do not be daunted 

by the enormity

of the world's grief.

Do justly, now.

Love mercy, now.

Walk humbly, now.

You are not obligated 

to complete the work, 

but neither are you free 

to abandon it.

A holiday roadmap - finding your way to more comfort and joy.

Give to HIAS.

Thoughtful Sunday.

What do you do in between playing games? You play more.

Night Drive

Us and the moon, driving through the desert.

Charging and Playing

On our way to Vegas for a baseball tournament, we stopped at a charging station to charge up the car. The big forty charger station in the desert was empty, save for us. We had about an hour to wait, so the guys pulled out a ball and their gloves. It really livened the place up.
