  • blogging the day away

    All right, don't get too excited, but this is my second blog entry in 5 or 6 days. Unreal, right? Man, I feel like all I've been doing with my life is writing blogs! Two in one week? It's definitely time for a vacation or something.

    Could this be the Soul's year?

    What a game it was! What a finish! The Philadelphia Soul are hosting the division championship game for the first time ever. It should be quite the scene at the Center on Saturday. Whaddya mean you've never heard of the AFL? It's football in the spring and summer. What more could you ask?

    The Tipping Point

    Now, you people know by now how late I am to so many different things. Could be cultural, could be historical, political, whatever. Could also be literary. I'm finally reading The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Mr. Gladwell already blew my mind when I read Blink, which was a great book, and he has done it again with The Tipping Point. It's all about how little things can make a major difference and how things like ideas and behaviors can spread just like a virus would. Like an epidemic. And why.

    Other current events

    ... but only the ones that center on ME. 

    I am preparing for another round of submissions for Lilly Dances, my sort-of-picture-book-but-not-quite project. It's more of a very short book with pictures. Actually, it has no pictures right now (I'm no artist), but it would be way better with pictures. Like a picture book would. Like a really long picture book.

    but not quite.

    The kids are doing fine on their summer break from school. I'm doing fine also, but I CAN tell you how many weeks until the school buses start rolling again.

    seven.
