The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. J.R.R. Tolkien

iPhone issues already

Well I've only had my phone about a week and already I'm finding flaws. I'm waiting for my computer to install a bunch of updates (taking way tooooo long) so I'm playing with the phone. The gps thinks I'm quite a bit west of where I actually am. I keep trying to get it to reorient but it keeps thinking I'm at shoppers world in Brampton. I'm definitely not there!

iPhone blog

My first post from my iPhone. I totally inderstand how everyone gets addicted to these things. I also understand how people fall into sewers! This could be very dangerous.

First Book Club

I've joined my first book club (thanks Charlotte for inviting me) and last night was my first meeting (I didn't join until after the first meeting). I think there are about ten women in the club and I knew four of them prior to going into the meeting.

The first book (for me) was Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. It was an excellent book and I would highly recommend reading it. I think we probably gave it an 8 out of 10. A couple of us felt that it lost a bit of momentum (and believability) just over half way through. But, even with that the story is well told and extremely interesting (and was very well researched - that part was very interesting to me).

I had a great time at the meeting. We had some really great discussions (and not just about the book).

Our next book: The Ten Year Nap.
