Another quick read, Helen Goodman wrote "Valley of Death" in 2008. I'm pretty sure this was another of our garage sale finds back in September. It was okay. I think my conclusion is that my mind is on the same page as Ms. Goodman's. I could figure out everything that was gonna happen about a chapter before they happened, and the end was fairly clear before I got halfway through the book. Ah, well. It was fun to read. I wasn't too excited about the main character, the teacher. And I'm pretty sure that I was judging her just by her profession. It's one that I don't understand very well.

Well, we didn't see Julia the other day, but we did have a nice meal at Sarah's. It was too cold to be chasing movie stars anyhow. I watched some football yesterday, and I'm very pleased with the final two teams for the showdown in two weeks. I've got no party lined up for that, but I think I'll either be at grandma's or grandpa's...they both have nice new TVs. Grandma's TV is better, but grandpa is more into football. Go Packers!
