October So Far
Beauty of Fall in MD.
This month has flown by. I can’t believe it is almost November, especially since someone decided to turn the calendar back to May. It was so warm today, I swore it was spring, not fall. But all you have to do is look at the trees and you remember what time of year it is. Spring and fall are the best times of the year in the mid-atlantic.
Class is going well so far. I have to give an oral presentation at the end of the semester, which I am not crazy about. The positive side is that I get to read an author I have been meaning to explore for a while now. It’s Reynolds Price. I first read an essay he wrote for Book World (Remember that on Sunday?) in The Washington Post. I was so blown away by it, that a short time later I went out and bought Kate Vaiden.
And it sat on my bookshelf ever since. You know how that goes…
So now I am finally getting around to reading it. Yay! I almost picked a few other books (The person should-be an American and a book of note, but exceptions were made for others.), but I have been sitting on this book long enough.
I also realized I’ve been watching way too many episodes of How I Met Your Mother. I used the phrase “suiting up” in my last post. LOL! I didn’t even realized until a week after I posted. I also find myself humming “Let’s Go to the Mall” every now and then. Thank you FX. It’s a great show and my subconscious is giving you a high-five.
Interested in reading the essay? Find it here. It’s a great collection, and well worth the money.
