Last week was a tough week. Work stuff. Icky winter sick stuff. But this weekend I got to rejuvenate a bit. I think it's time to plan a little spring break of my own for the end of the month. I could use it.

Philomena was a good read. Where the movie is the mother (Philomena's) story, the book is the son's story. It did include a bit too much about Michael's gay life for my taste. I know what gay is, I didn't need to know so much about his fetishes, but overall, the book was well done.

Most people would say I'm overthinking it, it's just a guy being a guy, but I don't like to spend a lot of time taking in this kind of smug attitude toward traditional values.
This week I'll be reading:
