Being Forgetful

Is it being forgetful or lazy that I have waited one month to come back and write on my blog? So, let's see...the month of May.
-celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a taco
-celebrated Memorial Day at the pool
There was a whole bunch of other stuff in between that nobody but me would probably care about. The organization I work with spent most of May preparing student volunteers to go out through the state of Tennessee doing summer service projects. I spent most of May getting ready for those students to arrive in Tennessee.

On other points...

As I enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia (hence the title of this blog), I should at least mention that I did go and see Prince Caspian.* Don't worry, no spoilers here. I really enjoyed the movie. I felt that even though in some places it wandered away from the novel, the heart of the story was maintained. What about you?

I also read an excellent book-Gilead: A Novel by Marilynne Robinson. It was a unique book that I definitely want to read again, because there was so much that didn't sink in the first time.** The story is written as a "last letter" from a dying man to his son and covers a lot of ground (both in time and in concepts). I would definitely recommend it.

That's all for now. See you in June.***


*or as my local theater sold it-Narnia 2. How much did that annoy me?
**at some point, I will try to review this book more thoroughly because I really do recommend it.
*** because I'm sure all three of you reading this will be waiting on tenterhooks. Even more so, since you are probably a family member waiting to see if I survive white-water rafting next week.
