Momentous Occasion

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

I am very excited to share that, for the first time ever, Geneva and I read a story as she was getting all ready for bed. We’ve read many stories together, of course. But what makes tonight so exciting is that it’s the first time that Geneva has been the one reading. Yep. She read me a story tonight!

Thorn in My Flesh

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

Earlier today I went tromping through the woods trying to find some liverwort specimens (I didn’t find any :(). On my way out, I tripped a bit, and put my hand out to catch myself. It did an excellent job, and I stayed on my feet. However, The few fingers that touched the ground happened to touch it in an already occupied space. When I brought my hand back up, I saw that a thorn had passed through my finger. As in, it went in one side, and came out the other. If only I had a cell phone that had a camera in it, you too could have witnessed the gore.

It’s pretty sore now, but can hardly be seen. Which is disappointing.

Books Read in 2007

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

Being inspired by Chris, I have created a new page where I’ll keep track of and give mini-reviews of the books I read in 2007. The link is up above if you ever want to take a look.

I’ll leave the ‘Books Read’ links here on the main page also. So if you notice that list change, take a look at the page to see what I thought of the book.
