Fright Hike

Tonight and tomorrow night Lapham Peak will host its annual Fright Hike.
I've carpooled children there in years past, but this year we are going to brave the spoooookinesssss.....

Just to make sure I'm covered, I apologize to all who will end up in my hiking group.
I know it's problem. I'm sorry.

I will scream.
I will grab whomever is closest.
I'll probably run.
I'm sure I'll end up tripping over something.
So, I'm sorry.

But... I gotta go. It's a beautiful day and I anticipate a beautiful evening. I love hiking and heck, I have to drop all the kids off at friends anyway. So hope to see you there.

it's just what i think

About a week ago I finished Helen Fielding's Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination. I was somewhat disappointed with this read. For the length of the book there was too much content. Fielding easily could have expanded any number of the ideas, which she introduced.

• Terrorism
• Sudan
• Drug Smuggling
• Political Cover ups
• Al-Qaeda
• Takfiri

Or even expanded the relationships that were introduced. Instead, although somewhat amusing, it touched slightly on all of the topics without resolve.

This book would be appropriate for the person who wants a 306 pg. quick read without much substance. For a vacation, perhaps. The author, a journalist and novelist, lives in London and that is apparent in her verbiage. On occasion the word choices tripped me up until I resolved them to an English slang.

Next read: William Paul Youngs The Shack. Why?? Last week I heard this book discussed in 3 different circles with comments like:

• "It is sweeping the Nation"
• "You mean you haven't heard of it?"
• and... "Hey what did you think of ..."

I love book discussions so I thought I'd pick it up. On the cover it is exclaimed to be the '#1 New York Times Bestseller' with over 2 million copies in print. I don't really care about all that. Countless times I've found that I tend to like the movies that got 2 thumbs down or books that don't always make, well... anyone's list. So, I'll begin this with just a little more anticipation than some good conversation.

Care to join me?

is there really a question?

Hate crime or art?

Are you kidding me?

Is there really a question?

The answer depends on your hypocrisy.

That's all.

She did a really good job addressing the hypocrites and lack of... well ... the lack of taste shown by the Obama supporter in this act:

Yes, that is a noose around the neck of a mannequin made up to look like Sarah Palin.
