book previews

i just googled a couple of books to add to our current/recent reads & noticed google has a book preview thingy... check it out...

divine conspiracy

some are only excerpts, while others (no longer under copyright), have the whole book online... i love that it even looks like a book & it's not just text (though plain text is also sometimes available...

phantastes

Redfish-ing...

I finally got to go fishing on the Indian River near the east coast of Florida on saturday as part of a birthday present to a friend. We found success and caught two redfish and a nice sea trout...all of which grilled up nicely.

Typical Monday...

Springtime is the time of year when alligators fall in love...and to find their mates they must start lake-hopping looking for that special someone. It is also a time when they begin eating a lot to make up for winter laziness, which can make them quite aggressive and more dangerous to humans than usual...this 11 ft 1 inch gator was caught in a lake right next to the building I work in...where about 500 people enter and exit everyday. As a matter of safety the gator was disposed of...unfortunately, gators over about 5 feet cannot be relocated.

talk & roll

this was early last month... he's doing all kinds of tricks now, but i'm a slow blogger.

sorry kid, but you're more than likely going to have curly hair & a lot of books.

the shack

mike read the shack earlier this year as part of a men's retreat & has been telling me to read it since... started it tuesday... finished it yesterday.

what a crazy book.

i think we could all stand to read it.
