It has been a busy couple of weeks and the year is nearly gone. The saying that time goes faster as you get older really does seem to be true.
Last week I finished reading The Walk West: A Walk Across America 2 by Peter Jenkins. I would have to say that this book was better than the first (A Walk Across America) and I would recommend both of them to anyone looking for a good read. I also read The Thief of Always by Clive Barker. The book was intended for somewhat younger audiences though I decided to read it since I missed it in my younger days. This also was a very good read (goes fast) and well worth picking up.
Typically I wait until after Thanksgiving before putting up any winter holiday decorations though I found that this year the urge came a bit early. Throughout last week I began putting out decorations and all I really have left to get is the tree. The cool air seems to bring about feelings of festivity that I feel compelled to act upon. So bring on the holiday season!
This past Saturday I attended a Board retreat for the Lupus Foundation of America, Pacific Northwest chapter. We accomplished a great deal of planning in our eight hours and I have to say that every member of the Board is a pleasure to work with. There is no doubt in my mind that the chapter will flourish with the great Board members which I currently have the honor of serving with.
