I just cannot concentrate on work today. I'm sooo glad I have a three day weekend. I'd really hoped to go visit Chris and the boys for the 4th, but tickets are just too expensive. Hopefully I can stay busy enough that I won't have time to miss them. Sometimes it hits me at such an unexpected time that I have a hard time keeping my composure. But, for the most part, I am doing ok if I don't dwell on it.

I've been reading a lot of wonderful books lately, but they've been tragedies. The writing might be amazing, but if everyone dies in the end, it still leaves me feeling a bit melancholy. I need something uplifting. Any suggestions?

Let me know if you want to do something over the weekend - we don't have any concrete plans right now.

I'd suggest reading the Book of Mormon, but since you don't want everyone to die at the end... ;-)

Have you read Three Cups of Tea? Nonfiction, and very feel-good.

Something lighthearted and funny? Anything by Christopher Moore. I suggest reading Stupidest Angel, it's absolutely hilarious! I've only read two of his books (Stupidest Angel and Fluke) but he's a nut and the books just leave me rolling.

How long are you in DC? We have next weekend planned, but I was hoping we could meet up in July yet? Where? How? We'd like to see the Smithsonian but I don't know if you're interested in that or not? Or if a quick cup of coffee would be better before we do our sightseeing thing with family? I guess we could take the details offline, if it happens. :)
