In which I provide another update I finished "Death of a Nation" the other night. It was a very good book on the Battle of Gettysburg, written as an apologetic for Robert E. Lee. I enjoyed it.

Then I read A Place on Earth, a novel by Wendell Berry. You know, I don't know why I keep reading fiction. I thoroughly enjoy reading them and love getting to know the characters, but I am never happy with the ending. It is always a let down. Is that a sign of good fiction?

I didn't make it to the Thomas Chalmers conference, but I'm hoping to get the tapes when the are out.

We stayed over at my parents place for two weeks while they were visiting my sister in China. The kids were sick for something like 10 out of 14 days, so that was fun.

I have almost all of my garden planted and have enjoyed spending the time working in it. We already have our beans and lettuce sprouting and I'm hoping for a good harvest. I am longing to be outside.

I am now reading "Family Farming: a New Economic Vision" by Marty Strange of the Center for Rural Affairs. I'll let you know what I think.

I have a few books that I am rebinding for some people. These will be the first ones that I am actually paid for!

So there it is. Sorry for the lack of substance, it shall come again, in time.
