8:30 am Life
Home. We left Calgary in the rain and remained in the rain for the entire drive to Lethbridge. And the temperature remained at +9 C. There was a strong wind as well. Not a pleasant day for outdoor activities.
3:00 PM Literature
I have begun reading Jonathan Franzen's book of essays, "Farther Away". It is a wildly ranging collection, some personal, some formal. The one's with a birding theme are particularly good. It is a theme he obviously cares about.
5:00 PM I have finished this book. It was a delight. If I had to summarize the book in one word, the word I would choose would be authentic.
I will be dipping into this book again, and again.
