The Irish

So, that title actually has very little to do with what I am posting, but I read James Joyce's The Dead, yesterday and it was about the Irish so I figured why not. It's funny, because I bought the book (which is actually called Dubliners...it is a book of short stories, and "The Dead" is the last of the short stories) many years ago, when they made it into a short lived musical starring the fabulous Alice Ripley. I figured since I couldn't go see it, I could at least read the story and see what it was about. So, five years later, I have finally read the story. I enjoy reading, but with life being so crazy all the time, I often do not have time to read. I have started reading at the gym, while I am on the bike. I can't read when I do anything else, but I typically start with 30 minutes on the bike, so I will read then. I honestly believe that my brain is turning to mush, because I do not use it that much! My goal for today is to read a book....any book I choice (and no, it will not be the new Harry Potter book....I read the first one, and it was cute, but nothing I cannot wait to read). I think this is why people do not read my blog, it is sooooo boring! Oh well, thus is life!
