GAMEDAY!!! An away game, though, so I shall have to watch it courtesy of ESPN. We’re playing LSU; very important game this year. We’re the underdogs in this one, so that works out good for us. Man, it is going to be some game!
But I cannot be at Baton Rouge, and I don’t think I’d wanna go if I had the chance. I heard the stories from the veteran band members of what happened in 1997. Nothing doing. So instead, we’re headed down to Birmingham for the day, gonna get some weddin’ stuff done. Yee-ha, road trip! I’ve been on so many road trips this week. . .
But I did come across something very interesting in Fort Payne this week. A used book store has opened up on the north end of town, right near my office! Ohh, the book gods are singing it’s praises. I found this great old book from 1920 about public speaking that I just had to get. In danger of sounding like an old fart, they sure don’t make books like they used to. The binding is still holding up well, the size and shape is perfect, and it opens up all the way, so you can hold it in one hand and it is perfectly willing to just lay prone and let you absorb the information. It sits in your hand just like those old pictures you see of the posed academic looking up from a book, like he had been suprised by the painter. That’s my kind of book.
