Summer is going, going...GONE

Well that was certainly quick. Summer just evaporated.

I'm looking forward to starting school in 12 days, it's the meetings next week I'm struggling with.
:-)

I'm going to do a podcast before school gets going. The only question is "When...?"

Since summer basketball finished, I've been filling my time by doing a little home improvement and a lot of edging in the yard. Have I mentioned how I can't wait for school to start?

A few weeks ago, I started a blog and podcast about the Green Bay Packers. It's called the Packer Podcast. Catchy, eh? No, I didn't stay up all night thinking of the name. It features all the latest Packer news with my own commentary sprinkled in for flavor. So, those of you that are Packer fans, check it out. If you're not a Packer fan, certainly you know one that would love the Packer Podcast! Like the Paradigm Shift, the Packer Podcast is available (FREE!) at the iTunes Music Store.

I've also been reading Young Patriots, a Charles Cerami book that investigates the important roles that James Madison and Alexander Hamilton played in framing the Constitution. I'm not very far yet as I tend to read non-fiction much more deliberately than fiction. So far, I'm very impressed with Cerami's writing. Having never studied Hamilton's background, I didn't realize just how brilliant our first treasury secretary truly was. One of the most impressive things about Hamilton is that he was such a quick study and would consistently gain insight beyond that of his mentors.

I do that, too.

Well, back to the book...
