The Summer of Almost No Reading is Nearing an End

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

This has been the Summer of Almost No Reading. As temperatures here in Madison tumbled this weekend, school begins Monday, and my really big project may be over tomorrow, I am looking forward to Fall, and reading again.

Sometimes those seasons in life, and this has been an actual, not figurative season, its been hectic. I have a small pile of very nice books I want to talk about, some children’s, some for older kids and a few YA, as well as dog training – yes, we’re training the beast, all 8 hairy pounds – and I’ve found two superior books, and several others.

Then we’re going to try to hammer on lego robots and possibly a few other types of robots, depending on the cost and budget. I want to make some videos of the robots, and maybe dog training, too, though that is going so fast, I’ll probably miss all that.
