Negligent

I'm under the weather these past 2 days. Scratchy throat and a terrible cough. Fell like my head will come off.
This is not a reason why I have not blogged. I'm just negligent. My common excuse.

I can always do better.
But during that time I finished reading Bruce Feiler's Learning How to Bow-his experience of one year teaching English in a Elementary School in Japan.

There are lots of insight about Japanese culture. And the book is well written.

Wednesday

It's cold but sunny and not raining.

Does it make a difference that I don't like to walk when it's raining for fear of slipping on the pavement?

I'm analyzing the chess positions from my correspondence chess games. I can focus and concentrate and I take breaks to feed my brain with food-nuts and dried fruit.

I'm reading the books I bought from the book sale. I'm enjoying the "Learning to Bow."

Books to read

I went to the book sale sponsored by the Friends of the Library. I got a bag full of 12 books and cost me only $15.

One of the books was Learning How To Bow by Bruce Feiler about his stay in Japan teaching English. It is funny and with lots of good reading about Japanese culture. Another book is The Anthologist by Nicholson Baker. This is fiction about poetry. Another is The Abbey Up The Hill by Carol Bonomo which is about her experience as a Benedictine oblate.
