I'm baaaaaack.
Easter was a blast. Sometimes it's just really nice to be home spending time with the family. We got to talk to Ger in Nepal. It was a pretty bad connection but at least we could hear her voice. I found out that the cd mixes I sent her were more popular with her roommates than her. Kind of funny. I figured she'd be really into the Shake Ya Body mix with a great assortment of dance music. She did like the Random Mix for Ger. And I didn't realize there are people that don't like the Beatles. Who'd have thought.

Yesterday, I read The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. I liked it a lot. It gives a whole new perspective on what heaven might be like. I never thought of it like that. Albom is really creative and writes in a very engaging way. A lot of the scenes were very colorful and resulted in these vivid mental pictures. I'm officially a fan of this author. I liked this book even better than Tuesdays with Morrie. Although that one was great too. They both teach you some lessons.

Now I'm reading Disgrace by J.M. Coetze. It's well-written and I'm enjoying it, but the main character is pretty despicable. It bothers me when the person you're supposed to like is clearly a bad guy. It's hard to read sometimes, but the writing is so wonderful that I can't stop.
