book club

ok, so....the highlight of my day turned out to be early-ish....when i snuck a look at a live cnn-feed of obama's berlin speech.....i was pleased that he did not try to raise the specter of JKF and try to speak german.....i was pleased that he managed to keep to his signature message of hope and unity...i was not surprised that no foreign service personnel based in berlin were in attendance, having been instructed to stay clear of this partisan event....but i digress from my book club selection meeting...whereupon only a small % of books i voted for made the final cut......and therefore the majority of selected books are those in which i have little interest in reading....bummer.....
