Nothing To Report

Well, you'd think after a month I would have loads of things to post about. Wrong. Not a lot of spectacular stuff going on with me. The junior college students will be starting classes next week so things are still not up to the usual pace at work yet. I've got some classes scheduled for this month already so that's a good sign.

I went out on the kayak last weekend and hopefully will get out on the water more often now that it's a little cooler. The weather has been a little inconsistent. It cools off and then gets hot. It looks like it's about to storm and then nothing. Here's a picture of Sandi hiding under the bed just before a thunder storm. She hates thunder.


I've done a good bit of reading and movie watching in the past several weeks. I finally finished the Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. I have now read something by each of the Bronte sisters. Tenant was really very good, the story was intriguing and the vocabulary was far superior to the books I've read lately. I also watched the movie and it was close to the book but it still had some cinematic embellishments. I recommend both but you should read the book first. I finished a very short book called Genesis by Bernard Beckett. This was kind of a sci-fi book and I totally didn't anticipate the ending so I'd recommend that one too (again, it's short so not much commitment needed there). I watched a newer version of Jane Austen's Persuasion that I enjoyed very much.


A colleague notified me about this new board game called Liebrary. It's similar to Balderdash but with a literary spin.





I think the spelling of the game is the best part. This might be fun for the holidays. My family usually enjoys board games like Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit and Scattergories.
