Washing the car

At the San Antonio temple

Feet up and fancy free.

I'd like to note that I do still think, I just haven't been able to think at a computer, on the blog.

Books of note:

Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. As gorgeous or better than I remember it, but leaves you with a sense of strong melancholy because you realize, finally, that it is about leaving that thing we call home and what it means to actually "keep" people and places--perhaps that is just a form of haunting.

To the Rescue: The Biography of Thomas S. Monson by Heidi Swenson. Loved learning about the prophet, predictable syntax, needed 6 more months of revision for organization. But good information.

The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain. Fun and kind of geeky. Not a favorite, but worth reading. Felt like a testing ground for Twain.

Jane Eyre by Charolotte Bronte. Love it. I don't think I'd want to tell ghost stories with the Bronte sisters; I might start believing them. I first read this book before age 12 and remember being completely shocked about the woman in the attic. How did I miss all the clues? Ah, first reads.
