Although I haven't had my blog for a year, I thought it might be appropriate to recap some of my travels throughout 2009 since the calendar year is drawing to a close. Hopefully this is something I can continue each year to map out where I've been and what I've done while taking a little …
Literary Travels: The Angel’s Game and The Shadow of the Wind
I have been flying through reading material lately. Now that I'm back into my 5 a.m. weekday workout routine, I have more time in the evenings to enjoy dinner and make some serious headway on my book pile.
