Les Misérables

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I recently finished reading Les Misérables. From the time I started reading until I finished, it was difficult to put this book down. Delving into several aspects of society’s value for people and Christian ideals, this was an amazing book that gave me pause several times to re-examine my own values, motives, and behaviour.

You can see this book in my library here.

Neil Young in Concert

Friday, April 24th, 2009

I just returned from seeing Neil Young in concert at Rexall Place. I went with a friend from work and we both agreed it was a great show. I had never seen Neil Young perform before and was amazed at his style. He would lumber across the stage then savagely beat his guitar, somehow maintaining tone and rhythm. Very entertaining. Watching Neil Young reminded me of my dad. He was a big fan. I started listening to Neil Young a few months before my dad died. I was looking forward to having a shared interest, but it didn’t work out that way. I would like to have gone to the concert with him tonight.

Yesterday it snowed…today a bug splattered on my windshield. I guess it’s summer now.
