Week Five Hours, Summer Reading, and the Founding Fathers

Hello.

I wasn't sure if I was going to post this tonight, but I have just enough time and energy. I spent the weekend in Minneapolis with some good friends. We enjoyed downtown, a Twins game, and some great food. If I was ever to live in a major U.S. city, Minneapolis is a major contender!

This week was pretty sad as far as hours go. I read for four hours, and that's it. I took this week off by focusing on relaxing and working around the house. I finished Confederacy of Dunces, which was excellent, and began In Cold Blood, which is really stirring and disturbing all at the same time. Here's my video...

Once more, tried to keep it short, but have some fun with it as well.

As I inserted the RotK footage, I realized it didn't work so well without ten minutes of context, which is how working with Tolkien is. In short, this is what I meant to use his words to say:

We spend too much time & effort worrying about what the founding fathers wanted, rather than what we need right now.


That being said, however, have an excellent and safe 4th!

Also, what books are you reading this summer?
