I reading a book about Corn too, it is history and social commentary... really facinating.. (don't remember the author, it just caught my eye as being interesting)

i envy you your reading time.. NY is having yet an other heat wave, 7 more days in a row of 90+ (average over 95-- for the rest of the world, close to 37C.) with high humidity, 79 to 85%, and ozone alerts.. the idea of carrying a book to read is too much. i make do with a paper that i can throw away and not have to carry both ways to and from work.

at home, i am attempting to pack for a move.. piles of my own stuff to sort through and pack and bigger piles of my kids stuff, abandon at the family homestead.


my other obsession
