Literature is a fine thing. The other day I suddenly remembered a few details from a book I’d read growing up. I read a lot as a kid (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea I think) and was surprised that I’d read it and not just watched the movie, though I did that too. Reading was better than TV (though I watched way too much of that). Encyclopedia Brown, The Hardy Boys, The Mad Scientist Club, Swiss Family Robinson, etc ad finitum. There are a few books that I didn’t read and a few that I did and would like to go back and re-read. Here are a few books I can’t wait to start reading to Anders and Finn at bedtime.
- Swiss Family Robinson
- Treasure Island
- Robinson Crusoe
- 20,000 leagues under the sea
- Tom Sawyer / Huckleberry Finn
I’ll add to these later. Any recommendations?
Anders: Mommy and Shannon and Leslie are going to the restaurant?
Me: That’s right
Anders: What they do after?
Me: They might got to a bar.
Anders: They pet the Animals?
Me: Huh?
Anders: They pet the Animals?
Me: Uh, no I said Bar not barn, Bud.
I’ve been editing some footage for a short piece about Dorado fishing in Bolivia. I ended up trying to go with a surrealist take but I may have not taken it far enough, partially due to editorial feedback.
This past weekend we went to the boiling river and other places down in Yellowstone. See Travelingmel.com for details and pics.
I don’t have a lot to say lately because I’ve been focused on editing. I just wanted to customize the blog skin real quick before I have a coffee date with Melynda.
Cheers.
