Logan had a great time on his first day back to school. “The math stuff is too easy!” he said ::grin:: Week two of working out and I made it to the gym again this morning, although I couldn’t find my lock so I went to Walgreens to by another. When I did get to the gym, the lock was too small to use. So I just threw my bag on top of the lockers and worked out anyway.

I finally got around to sending an email to Kristen and she responded almost immediately! She gave birth to her third child in June and has been a bit busy ever since ( I can’t imagine why!! ::grin::) Anyway it was good to hear from her!

I mentioned a few days ago that I found that remaindered copy of “Smoke & Mirrors” by Neil Gaiman, well I read about a third of it last night. It is a collection of short stories. No. That’s not quite right. It’s a collection of literary genius spilled between the covers of this book. Not necessarily genius insofar that what he has to say is new or groundbreaking, but I have never found an author who could so deftly and eloquently spin a tale and leave such a detailed and descriptive carving in your mind. I would recommend this book to any sci fi/fantasy fan out there who hasn’t read Gaiman before. (You might remember him from a little comic book he used to write:The Sandman
