25 days! Yay! But it's taking FOREVER. *sigh*

Well, the good news is I am making good progress on John Adams. 2 days until book group and I have about 200 pages to go. I know, it seems like a lot, but I've been pushing hard and have done about 200 pages in the last 2 days alone. So even if I don't finish all the way, I'll be close enough to done to have formed a pretty good opinion of it for discussion purposes. And it's not actually due back until Saturday.

Up there I've made it sound like there's bad news to come, although there isn't. Not that I can think of, anyway. Tomorrow after work I'm meeting Sonja, one of my former roommates, for dinner at Punch (which, by the way, is an excellent new pizza joint opened not too long ago here in town). I haven't seen her for at least a year so it will be fun to catch up a little.

A few weeks ago while cleaning I came across some "travel logs" that my friends and I made back in high school on a couple of our baseball roadtrips. In 1992 we went to Milwaukee, 1993 was Chicago, and 1994 was Kansas City. The log from Milwaukee appears to have disappeared to the Great Outfield in the Sky, but I found the ones from Chicago and Kansas City. I typed them up and sent them on to Liz and Heidi and they appeared to have gotten a big kick out of seeing them again, judging from their replies this morning. Then Heidi suggested that we do a sort of reunion roadtrip sometime (after all, it's now 10 years since Milwaukee!!! -- hard to believe). It would be awesome if we could do that, maybe next summer -- another baseball roadtrip, just for us girls!
