Its been a rough couple of days. Bad news on the income front. Not a lay off or anything just a reconfiguration on hubby's behalf which will cut our income. I hope things improve in the fall when we both could HOPE to find something.
Time Magazine has what I call a neat system for reviewing books. READ SKIM TOSS!!!!
So I am definetly skimming John Grogans's memoir, The Longest Trip Home. His parents were so profoundly Catholic that his life and that of his siblings was like child abuse I swear! Family vacations to shrines,hymns at dinner,giving up your room for 7 inner city Detroit kids! I am liking the second half where he grows up,becomes a newspaper reporter and meets his future wife! When he moved in with her his parents flipped. Like they actually thought a thirty year old guy in the 70's and 80's was celibate till marriage. Give me a break!
My upstairs book,Glass Houses is a very intelligently done mystery by Jane Haddam that takes place in Philadelphia. Apparently this prolific writer has 26 or so other books featuring this retired FBI guy,Gregor Demarkian. Dull so far but I like all the mentions of Philly stuff.

Sorry about the "reconfiguration". Just what you need when sending #2 off to college. Never a good time, really....
