I bought Cleopatra when it first came out, but haven't had a chance to pick it up.  I am glad to know it is a good read.  It will have to move up on my list!

I plan on reading Olive Kitteridge but got sidetracked by pulitzer prize winning author Stacy Shiff's book called Cleopatra. It is very historical, but a great read. Cleopatra was not the evil queen the movies have made her to be. She was highly educated and multilingual. She was shrewd and equal to any monarch of her time. I am bothered that history has made her into a woman who uses her wiles to get men to do as she wanted. I will continue reading and let you know. I am really looking forward to seeing Greg Mortensen at TLA!!

Veronica,  I read Olive Kitteridge when it first came out.  I sincerely enjoyed it.  It really gives us a perspective on the life of a senior citizen and dealing with major changes in an individual's life.  I'm currently reading Amigoland by Oscar Casares.  He's a Brownsville native (which is really cool) and the novel deals with a lot of the same themes found in Olive Kitteridge.  Check it out when you get a chance.

Rob,  Attending Mortensen's keynote address is my number one top priority at TLA!  I am so excited to hear him speak as I think he is doing great things in Central Asia.  I have read Three Cups and Stones into Schools but am hoping to reread them before TLA.  We will see though as our plates are rather full.

  I am reading the bestseller 'Tattoos on the Heart'. -Its about values such as: compassion and seeking an expansive heart and mind.  It is written by a priest who works in a barrio in Los Angeles and works with the poor and ex-gang members.

It's one of the books I plan to read when I have a little more time for leisure reading.  However, I did just finish reading Olive Kitteridge.  It's the latest Pulitzer winner.  It's a great book.  I recommend it as wel.

Is anyone planning on attending General Session II with Greg Mortensen, the author of Three Cups of Tea?  If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it.  Looking forward to the conference.

Like all of you, I was down. The problem was a big cable cut at the provider's end...AT&T. SHSU and SFA were both down! It is all over now but let me say in advance in case something happens again. I am going to take your work upon the return of service if anything like this happens. It really upset me because THAT was the time I had to really buckle down and grade and I lost my window of time. Thursday I drove to San Marcos because I had some appointments and also my daughter played two show, one Thursday night and one last night. I am having a nice time at my San Marcos house but the Internet via my mobile wifi is slow compared to at home or work. I do hope to do some grading this morning and also tonight though.
