Catch 22: April 2013
http://melcaroll.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 1, 2013. The World's Strongest Librarian. I could not have guessed that my favorite read this year would be about a Mormon Librarian Strongman with severe Tourette Syndrome. I was trying to describe the author and my love for his book to my family at dinner, and they said Wait. What? I enjoyed discovering Josh's blog and facebook pages as well, and will enjoy watching his transition from librarian to successful author. He is a gracious in responding to comments. Or check out his blog here.

Thoughts of the time zone and travel pace has me missing home, family, chosen family, and my routine before i have even left. So, I will attempt to do some connecting via blogs during this trip and this is a test of "iPad delivery mechanism" and i hope not a test of your patience. Dubai - united arab emirates.

The First of Many: The Kindness of Strangers
http://thefirstofmany.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-kindness-of-strangers.html
The First of Many. Words escape me at the moment. Tuesday, June 4, 2013. The Kindness of Strangers. The aircon filters what I breath and there are many unnamed filters between me and understanding as we speed by in our air conditioned car through villages, swarms of motorcylces carrying families, public buses jammed tight with passengers, chickens, selling stalls, children, trucks, bicycles.

The First of Many: Do it till you're satisfied
http://thefirstofmany.blogspot.com/2011/09/today-was-reminder-of-simple-things.html
The First of Many. Words escape me at the moment. Sunday, September 18, 2011. Do it till you're satisfied. This morning I walked to Canyon market and got just the right amount of fresh things from the produce section and the salad bar, cooked things from the deli counter, and a couple of things to compliment those items. It's a simple thing to buy just the right amount (which for means just a bit too much! September 18, 2011 at 7:49 PM. Wow, what an amazing day, and I love tomato sandwich, especially on ...

The First of Many: Monday, Monday.
http://thefirstofmany.blogspot.com/2011/09/monday-monday.html
The First of Many. Words escape me at the moment. Monday, September 19, 2011. I noticed as I made my way to bart that I wasn't feeling the crunching in my low back that I felt last night on the last leg of my journey. That's good. And I remembered that energy begets energy, and put a little energy into getting a spring in my step and that helped all the way home. I'm not sure that it's come through in this post, but it's been a good day. September 19, 2011 at 7:51 PM. Did you talk like a pirate today?

Catch 22: August 2013
http://melcaroll.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 2, 2013. Best Read of the Summer. The Curiosity spins a fantastical tale of the reanimation of a man, Jeremiah Rice, frozen in a glacier at the turn of the century, and the deep relationship he develops with a brilliant scientist involved in his discovery, Kate Philo. I was able to suspend my disbelief and ignore the scientific implausibilities of the plot and enjoy this novel for the wonderful page-turning fiction that it is. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Depends on which day you're asking.
