Okay, those masks were starting to scare me, first click of the blog and BAM! There's Zac staring at you with bug eyes, looking like an asylum patient. Speaking of asylums, I have been reading two books about the mentally disturbed and have felt the stirrings of my inner psyche trying to pry out. First I read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, a brilliant American poet and writer who attempted suicide many times (stuck her head in an oven) and finally accomplished it when she was thirty. Next I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey (also a movie for you non-readers) about a beligerant backwoodsman who gets committed to an insane asylum to get out of the prison work farm. This one had me laughing out loud at parts and wincing at others. I swear I'm perfectly normal (but then don't all loonies think so?), I just like to delve in the psychotic once and awhile. Lobotomy anyone?

I thought the masks were great!!!
I can just see you sitting there reading, and laughing outloud.
It's sure been a long time since i've last seen you. Hopefully we will have a class reunion next summer and we all can make it. that would be great.
These books sound intense! Don't worry,...If you get admitted to State Hospital South in Blackfoot (Psycho place),..I'll come visit you! ;)
Boo! You didn't need to take the masks off. Just put up a new post and they'll be further down! I thought the masks were great.
I read a couple of books years ago that had a little psycho vibe. Jane Eyre was great even though the main character wasn't psychotic. But you've probably read that one. Have you ever read "Rebecca" by Daphne DuMaurier? Spooky love story. One of the best books I've read.
YES! I'll be home from the 21-31! Can't miss Pioneer Day if you know what I mean. Shawn doesn't understand the obsession with that holiday, but he's from Rexburg, really what can you expect? Give me a call, I'll be in Utah for some of the time (Bobbi's should have a new little girl by then). I'd love to see you with my pregnancy glow.
