My wife assures me every time he does something stupid that he takes after me! (I think this may be an opinion held by wives everywhere…)

Good Thursday morning everybody!!!!
I went back to this post by our resident father of a genius named Joey, (I guess he took after his mother lol!!), and reviewed the list of books one at a time.

Its amazing to me that upon doing so how many of those I had already read a very long time ago and many in my English Lit. classes in High School and more in college..

Seevral of them I really liked and have read several times. War and Peace by Tolstoy is one as is Animal Farm, Don Quixote, Huck Finn, and Brave New World.

Its an interesting list. I prefer reading Historical Books of Eras and events that are Non-Fiction and of course I have Five shelves on a Bookcase of Theology Books and a second bokcase of noting but American Civil War era, American Revolutionary War era and many books on the leaders of the Revolution and most documents such as The Articles of Confederation as an example.

I am an avid reader in my continual quest to learn.

I only have to figure out what to do with my mini-library when I die.. I know my children will not want to read all these books. So it is a mystery to me as of yet.. I could donate my Theological Books to the Church and they could become the basis of a good Library there..

Oh well. I need to drive to the Cintas Center today at Xavier University to see where I am going tomorrow for Graduation Ceremony held there for my grandson. My daughter will be marching in with the graduating students as a Teacher because she taught almost all of them in her science classes from the time they were freshmen.. I think that's pretty cool. She herself is quite accomplished as she is a Masters plus 60, just a tad more to go to get her PHD.
Its great when your kids are smarter than yourself. You can feel good about them and know they will be alright when you are no longer on this earth..

Time for me to get going.. See y'all later.
