JMU Football 5-0 for the first time



David and I were among the fans who braved windy, cool (high 40s) and misty weather today to watch JMU down Stony Brook 38-20 for the first 5-0 start in program history. Linda is still recovering from her recent hospital stay and watched the game online at home, where it was warm and dry.

Books I Have Read

I should have posted this a couple weeks ago when I finished reading "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game" by Michael Lewis. Even though it was published more than 10 years ago, still an interesting read.

Novels I Have Read

Finished reading "Blandings Castle" by P.G. Wodehouse. It's the second Wodehouse book I have read and they're great. Blandings Castle is a collection of short stories. I'm glad I read "Uncle Fred In The Springtime" first. It introduced me to some of the characters in "Blandings Castle."

Another John Grisham book read

After many stops and starts, I have finally finished reading Sycamore Row. I liked having the setting back in Clanton with the main characters from "A Time To Kill." I want to read "A Time To Kill" again and then read this one again, back to back. Overall, Sycamore Row is pretty typical Grisham, which I enjoy.

I have Grisham's latest book, Gray Mountain, but I will be reading my second book by P.G. Wodehouse ("Blandings Castle") and then "Money Ball" before I get to it.
