We were back and forth to the pool a couple of times; the swim team was watching a video about correct strokes and turns. They couldn’t swim because it’s too cold and was raining most of the day.
Then I read three chapters of “Hittite Warrior” to the byos. It’s a historical novel based on episodes from the Book of Judges, Deborah vs. Sisera. (The eponymous protagonist has just met Sisera, so things will get bloody pretty soon.) We got it with Anoreth or Bill’s Seton School curriculum years ago, but I’d never read it. Tom recommended it to Pat when we finished “Kings Mountain,” about the Revolutionary War, a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry to hear about your weather. It looks like Spring has finally arrived here, hitting both LoM and myself with allergic reactions. Until we succeed in replacing all grass with moss, the lawnmower is her duty for the time being.
For reading I am still working my way through "After Worlds Collide," an old SF novel preceded by the 1930s novel "When Worlds Collide", made into an Americana movie early 50s. Surprisingly fun stuff, though I hope the remake is more true to the book than the original.
An accurate remake of "After Worlds Collide" would be way too incorrect for Hollyweird so I have no hopes of that.
Looks like we have great weather ahead: comfortably warm in the mid 60s, lots of sun -- so of course after Wednesday we'll be away to the SF Bay area until Saturday night. (Diocesan conference.)
It was Bill. I had to read Heidi, which is the worst thing I’ve ever been forced to write about. Also a silly book about some girl whining her way through the Depression.
I found a book about the Soviet Revolution. Published in the 50s, and therefore free of the modern tendencies to explain away the mistakes of either or both sides. Also it’s only about a hundred pages (paperback), so it’s not endlessly long like others I’ve seen on the same subject.
