As promised, today marks the beginning of a new Friday feature. I'm not sure that anyone actually cares about this or not, although if anyone is out there, you probably prefer that I write something as opposed to writing nothing, and if nothing else, having a weely feature helps me remember to keep writing.
The new feature will be a Friday Literature Review (FLitR?), and my original thought is to focus mainly on series of books that I've enjoyed over the years. I should mention that growing up I had a pretty voracious appetite for fiction and would plow through most books in a matter of days. Now that I'm older I can still find this happy place, but time constraints and a more developed set of social skills tend to limit my reading time. Also, its been harder for me to find books that I like as much these days, so feel free to recommend books I might enjoy as you begin to see the kinds of things I've enjoyed to date.
That said, I haven't put a lot of time this week into blog prep, so lamentably (for you the reader) I'm going to hold off on a review until next week. But I will leave you with this quick meme (one of the most common ones I see) as a bribe to keep you coming back:

What about your vacation to Omaha? I hope this wasn't a TOP 4 listing of items! ALso you're welcome to visit San Antonio where you will get time with your niece but may not get to see much of your bro.
Also I've been reading some military history that I have found pretty interesting. I particularly like "The Right Stuff" and "We were Soldier's Once, and Young." I also have interest in reading "Blackhawk Down." Sadly I will read very little for leisure in the next three years as I have a tendency to fall asleep while reading if I have much of a sleep debt -- which I plan to have. Sorry this has been too long.
