Wrapped up in books 2007, Part I
One of the resolutions I made last night was to read more books and watch less TV. I only managed to read a paltry 47 books last year. Pathetic. So this year I’m giving myself what I call the Largehearted Boy Reading Challenge, 52 books in 52 weeks. Go me! Before I start my challenge [...]

I am not sure where a spleen is located but I have decided mine is about five inches under my left breast.

The words I thought I brought, I left behind
In the past four weeks or so I’ve seen Andrew Bird and Neko Case live for the first time ever. I saw Paul Westerberg sing and talk about his music.
However, nothing has filled my stomach with electricity or made my hands shake with excitement like the arrival of Jim Walsh’s All Over But the [...]
