Priceless. Sounds like your family is enjoying summer fun.

I went with her and got a tiny little flower on my left ring finger; its mostly concealed by my wedding jewelry. We were both kind of thinking that if we regretted it for the rest of our lives, well---at 40 and 60 years of age that just didn't seem like much of a threat. Paula Cole wrote a great lyric about tattoos; I'll think about putting it in an upcoming post.<BR/><BR/>Nick Hornby is great and yes, you should read A Long Way Down. Thanks for the heads up on Fever Pitch as well; when Rob read it, I assumed it was yet another sociologic, non-fiction discussion on the impact of baseball in the collective consciousness...KHMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370307704273976378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695488.post-1150548731690790702006-06-17T08:52:00.000-04:002006-06-17T08:52:00.000-04:00Hi Kathy!

Sorry to wear them out for you :) <BR/><BR/>Here is the book I mentioned that I heard about and it sounded like something you would be interested in. The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. <BR/><BR/>Publishers Weekly review: It's a fascinating journey up and down the food chain, one that might change the way you read the label on a frozen dinner, dig into a steak or decide whether to buy organic eggs. You'll certainly never look at a Chicken McNugget the same way again.Pollan approaches his mission not as an activist but as a naturalist: "The way we eat represents our most profound engagement with the natural world." All food, he points out, originates with plants, animals and fungi. "[E]ven the deathless Twinkie is constructed out of... well, precisely what I don't know offhand, but ultimately some sort of formerly living creature, i.e., a species. We haven't yet begun to synthesize our foods from petroleum, at least not directly."Pollan's narrative strategy is simple: he traces four meals back to their ur-species. He starts with a McDonald's lunch, which he and his family gobble up in their car. Surprise: the origin of this meal is a cornfield in Iowa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695488.post-1150514322845655532006-06-16T23:18:00.000-04:002006-06-16T23:18:00.000-04:00When did your mom get her tattoo?

I have only read "High Fidelity" but I keep meaning to read the rest of his books, especially if they are like "High Fidelity". I have seen the U.S. movie version of "Fever Pitch" with Drew Barrymore, but I would like to find the other version which was based more on the book about soccer, not baseball. Anyway, did you like the book and would you recommend any of the others if you have read them?Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042600014262648084noreply@blogger.com
