What a drag it is to be at work today.

I took the day off after christmas and new years, so I had two four day weekends off in a row. It was so heavenly.

But now I'm back at work and it will be my first full week of work in two weeks. I need more holidays!

Maybe if I print my monthly reading list, I'll make myself find the time to read more books.

For January my reading list is:

Golf in the Kingdom by Michael Murphy - I just started this book, and found it after reading reviews of "The Legend of Bagger Vance". It's written by the founder of the Esalen Institute at Big Sur.

A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley - won the pulitzer prize in 1992 (for award winning books)

Mystic River by Dennis Lehane - the book is supposed to be better than the movie.
It's kind of fun and interesting to look back and go over everything I've done in the past year. Sometimes I think I do and see so much that if I don't write them down, I totally forget about them and they all become one big blur.
