Checking In

I've missed at least one meeting and can't remember which weeks we meet. The Herrings will be up in Humboldt this weekend checking out the school, so I fear I will be missing yet another meeting. I've finish the Abolition of Man and am almost done with Don Quixote. I've purchased Housekeeping, but I see that the Old Man and the Sea is on deck. I'll have to grab a copy of that locally. Please let me know if the order of books has changed, and I'll catch up with you all shortly.

Brethren. Since as an ex-member of the MBC I often still long for the blood and vigor of the intellectual octagon: Hitman's crushing blindsides, the JJ's jujitsu holds, Jared's impenetrable defense, Herringmeister's crushing strategems, Towner channeling Colbert, Grandberg dipping in and out like a ghost, I wanted to pass along one last book recommendation, even if at this point my vote is effectively an empty boast. "Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner is something I enjoyed some years ago - it's non-fiction examination of the United States' history of water allocation and redistribution, and though it probably suffers from the political lean of its author (this may be accepted into the canon of the liberal gospel), it nevertheless is a strange story of money and power and hyper-engineering that spooks and bedazzles. But God be with you lads. Until, etc.

Back on Track!

Hey guys,
Just wanted to drop a line on our blog and make sure we were all alive still. It was quite an accomplishment to have finished Don Quixote, but I must say I am quite glad to be back from the land of Errantry and Enchantments. C.S. Lewis is a great writer, but I don't think I have ever craved him as much as I do now. Looking forward to having those engaging conversations again. It's been too long.
