Well, I was checking up on some of the blogs that I follow and noticed that I had actually started one last October. How cool is that! I had forgotten that I did that. So now I will make another post to my blog.
The Cardinals just beat the Eagles and are going to be in the Super Bowl. How did that happen? Pete and Travis in particular are very happy. Maybe tomorrow I'll hear who they are going to play.
This weekend Jim, Kodie and I watched the entire John Adams mini-series. We took breaks of course but we were basically at Kodie's house for 12 hours. It went fairly quickly but we could really see why it was a mini-series. You needed some time between episodes because it was not the most action packed adventure ever. We had all read the book I believe so much of it was familiar but we enjoyed the acting and the production values. Jim hated the soundtrack. There was an obnoxious buzzing fly track that they inserted VERY often. I hadn't paid much attention but when he pointed it out, then you start to notice and it was there a LOT. So then we start to notice the bird sounds they inserted and pretty soon the soundtrack had us riveted.
The inauguration is this week. We are staying as far away from the District as possible. Besides, we have to work Monday and Tuesday where most people will be off those two days. At least around here.
I am reading the third book of the Shaara's Civil War trilogy. The first two were excellent, I prefer the son's writing style to the father's. Jim has started reading the first one, Gods and Generals now that he has finished the Adams book. After I finish, Last Full Measure, I want to read David McCullough's Truman.
