Selfishness

So, a few years ago Micaela bought a copy of Ayn Rand's defining novel "Atlas Shrugged." I was meaning to read it at that time, but never got around to it. It wasn't until last month when a friend of Micaela's was visiting who had started reading it for a book club. She mentioned that one of the issues in the beginning of the book is centered around oil in Colorado. Well, seeing as I now live in the Carbon Valley of Colorado, and there is a derek in the entry to our housing development, I thought I better get on with reading this book. I did, and I enjoyed it very much. I have since read more about the author herself, which has made it even more interesting. I have just started reading an earlier book of hers entitled "Anthem." Have any of you read her work? Please tell me your thoughts...especially if you understand the title of this blog.

Many, Many

I have been reading many books. I just havn't been posting them. I would like to get back to it, though. Right now I am just starting a biographical book about George Washington. It is entitled, "General George Washington: A Military Life." It is an interesting picture of late colonial America. I'd be interested to hear of anything the rest of you have read about George Washington.

The Mighty Hunters

We had a cute little baby bunny that was living in our yard. For weeks we've been watching it nibbling on our grass; scurrying away at the slightest sign of danger and hiding in the smallest of spaces. Unfortunately, Idgy and Lucy finally caught sight of it and launched a relentless pursuit. Having lasted so long unscathed, I had high hopes of the bunny surviving for some time. Alas, just the other day I came home to find Lucy defending her prize against Idgy, who was trying to come in the doggie door. The Mighty Hunters had finally taken their prey. Honestly, I wasn't sure if I ought to feel sad, or proud...
