9-4-09 – Gilead
I should have known...usually the Oprah book club ladies recommend books worth reading... but maybe I am shallow and too dense to wrap my head around the deep intense meaning in this author's books. This book has a few of the same characters as HOME -- previously ranted about commented on. Actually started out somewhat promising -- with a father - son trip to find the grandfather's grave -- then kinda went nowhere fast. Only listened to 2 disks.... Naperville Public Library actually ... Read more »

Difficult - Difficult listen. Painful, slow, dragging... I usually do not give up and listen thru to the bitter end -- but I just could not get passed disc 4. Brother and sister and home to take care of old-sick-crabby father.... sister has issues - brother has issues and everyone spends all day long beating around the bush. Son says "gad-damn-it" and father goes on and on and on and makes a federal case out of sone being disrespectful.... Skip this one...... unless you have been ... Read more »

8-1-09 Great Expectations
I read this book in 7th grade -- I saw it and had forgotten what Pip's deal was. Now I know I have like 0% of my memory left because I remembered about 10% of the book... for some reason I thought that when the old lady died they found the dead guy that left her at the alter dead in her bed. I guess that I am confusing all the warped reading that I did during jr high... Actually, the step son had this on a reading list for this year and I saw it -- so thought I would listen again..... was ... Read more »
Daytona Beach Biketoberfest 2008
To Wizrad, DH-BFF, asked me to take a few snaps of a bike at the ISB Bike Show cuz he liked the paint job.

I forgot until I downloaded the photos.... So here are a few pix of a kick ass paint job .... Love ya guys, See ya soon !! renata ... Read more »

The Day My Laptop Died……
Well, the 50th running of the Daytona 500 was one of the nicest February days I can remember in Daytona Beach Florida. It was also the day my laptop died -- I saw the blue screen of death and cried... I had pictures on that laptop from December 2004 that I could never replace. Anyway, posts will be dealyed. My March 2008 header will be dealyed. I am saying Hail Mary's & Rosaries while awaiting word from the Geek Squad on saving my data.... ... Read more »
