View From the Bushes

Well, the Life of Pi arrived yesterday which is good, since I had just finished Undaunted Courage and needed something new to read. So far I've enjoyed the writing enormously, though not nearly to the same extent as my wife. Before going to bed (at lord knows what hour) she managed to read the first 193 pages. I should mention that she didn't even start reading until about 9 or 10 last night. Speaking of books, some of my favorites are being made into mini-series by the SciFi channel, including The Wizard of Earthsea and Ringworld. They both sound quite enjoyable and the other stuff on the list doesn't sound too shabby either.

My daughter's science fair is tonight. It's always interesting to go and see an elementary science fair. There's a certain innocence you don't see in later grades. My daughter's project was all about skin sensitivity. She had nine different grades of sandpaper and she had people try and put them in order based on grit and then recorded the results -- not bad for someone in first grade. Other than that, things are pretty dull right about now so I think I'll sign off here.
