Squeezing in a bit of reading time this afternoon before heading to the family holiday gathering.
Went to see Elf the Musical this afternoon and caught this sunset from the parking deck when we left. No filter!

pickFirst read this ~50 years ago. Never forgot it. Bought it recently to induce my 14-y.o. daughter to read. She loved it, so I had to read it again. From my now seasoned perspective I may even appreciate this book more. I can see parts of almost every character in me as a youth (good and bad). This book took me back in time. So well written. So true. I look forward to “That Was Then, This Is Now“.
Tonight‘s water polo game for son might be 2 hours away, but at least the sunset is giving us a #BeautyBreak 😊
“I've been keeping informal track of ‘homie-propisms‘ at all the detention facilities where I celebrate the Eucharist. These are the moments when the homies get up to read and they'll come to an unfamiliar word and will supplant it with one they know rather than what it should be. Sometimes, it's the usual slipup. ‘A reading from the letter of Paul to the Phillipinos.‘ They don't know what a Gentile is… ⤵️
Look what came @TheBookHippie 🍁🍁🍁 I love it so much! I swear I saw a little maple leaf like this recently on social media and thought “oooo I need one” Maple is going to hang out here for a bit and then go sit with my Canada Lit books when I reorganize my book shelves
pickThis was the first book I‘ve read written in verse, and I really enjoyed it. It tells the story of a young boy growing up in a rough neighborhood, surrounded by gang violence and shootings. During an elevator ride, he‘s visited by ghosts from his past, which reminded me a bit of A Christmas Carol. It‘s a powerful, thought-provoking story that I finished in just about an hour. I‘d recommend it to anyone looking to try something new and unique.
