Currently, I am listening to Will and the World on tape.  It is an amazing book that describes the influences on William Shakespeare in England from 1580-1620.  It describes the events in and around Stratford and in his family.  From his father’s social collapse to an early marriage due to pregnancy, this book gives the gritty details of Will’s life.

Just finished, on a long travel day, The Final Solution by Michael Chabon.  A great book about an old detective in England after WWII.  Currently reading Jane Eyre  because I never did.  Pretty girly but I love it.

Musically, I have been busted singing the lyrics of Fergilicious by Fergie.  Also enjoying John Mayer.  I only hope to receive Tobes’ Xmas CD!!

At Tobes Request

This blog is a first attempt so bear with me.  I hope that this becomes a chance for me to catch up with the rest of the people in my life without restrictions.  Toby Murdock, the ingenious co-founder of qloud.com, has urged me to spew nonsense into the online universe.  Thanks Tobes.

We are coming off an interesting weekend of cultural fulfillment at the GA-Auburn game.  Given the pitiful performance of the War Eagle contingent I will never again see the inside of an Auburn tailgate. No matter that I cannot talk or think straight at my own personal effort of screaming for the Orange and Blue.  We all enjoyed the religious activists sending us straight to hell.  They were are real buzzkill and set the tone for a bad day for AU.

 Jason Branch had a rough weekend.  Sitting depressed in a car about Auburn is bad, But having the battery go dead is worse.

Despite various hiccups, it was an awesome weekend with Toby and Sean Murdock, the Branchs, Whit and Snuggles, and my lovely wife.  She deserves particular universal praise for delicious meals and and preparations.

Recent Books,  A Brief History of the Dead, Brockmeier. -This story describes a city in the afterlife populated by the souls of people that are remembered by people still living on earth.  The city is in peril because of a pandemic virus that sweeps the earth.  This virus eliminates its citizens until there are only people connected by the last person on Earth.   The last remaining person, a woman stranded in Antartica, struggles to survive and understand what has happened.  Interesting view on the people that we interact with in life.  Unfortunately, the book has no great climax but reaches the boundaries of the rules it creates.  Three stars out of five. 

Cannot wait to see Borat! 

Thanks for reading a first attempt!
