Library

Just got back from a thoroughly enjoyable visit to the local Des Plaines library. I could not find Aga's library card so I obtained a card of my own today. N & J love the library as much as I do. They used the Macintosh computers and did a few reading and counting games, then they accompanied me to browse for books. I discovered that they have a section of dvds and cds, so in addition to Nicholas Christopher's novel "Veronica" I also borrowed "About Schmidt" on dvd ( I think it has Kathy Bates in addition to Jack Nicholson so I continue to get my Six Feet Under fix), and also Vangelis's cd "Oddyssey" which is a compilation of his numerous movie soundtracks, such as "Blade Runner", and "Chariots of Fire". It is certainly new age music but it is so futuristic and I like it. Nicki didn't care for what I played in the car ride home but Julia liked the Chariots of Fire theme music.

My left foot still hurts so I might skip my training run today and rest up and do it tomorrow instead. I have that 10 mile race on Labor Day so I need to get ready. I can do 5 miles no problem at present.

Weather is nice today, not overly humid so likely I will take the twins in the backyard for a picnic.

One final thought on libraries- I love the quiet inside them. And of course I always love discovering new books. I think rather than buy books I will focus on the library for the time being. We are obsessing a bit lately about saving some money for the girls for their college funds.

Bye now, enjoy your Saturday everyone!
