Today has been fine enough. I haven't done a whole lot aside from Braille class, but that's ok. Braille class was really productive. The one student who came in had to take the Hadley Braille placement test, and she really made me proud by her performance from my vantage point of watching her. She really has made great progress since I've been working with her, and she knew a lot already coming into things.

Aside from that, not a whole lot. I had to scrap one book I'm reading because I just couldn't get into it. It was called American Nerd: The Story of my People by Benjamin Nugent. I'm not really sure why it wasn't doing it for me, but so it goes. I have since started a new book, Beyond the Bedroom Wall: A Family Album by Larry Woiwode.

The Neumiller family copes with life, love, and loss in small-town North Dakota and Illinois from the 1800s to the 1970s. Their experiences unfold from
various perspectives, including those of loving father Martin, his wife Alpha, and their five children. Some strong language and some descriptions of sex.
1975.

So far, this book looks like it'll be good. I'm liking it thus far, and I've only just started it.

I'm currently watching the second preseason Ravens game against the Jets, and I should get back to paying attention to it instead of writing in here. I wanted to get something down, though, because I really want to get back into the habbit of writing regularly again. Thanks everyone for your comments on my last entry welcoming me back to my blog. I really do appreciate it, and they meant a lot. A welcome back goes out to caninespirit. Take care all, more as it happens.
