A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway

This was an enjoyable book. It still doesn't displace The Old Man and the Sea as my favorite Hemingway novel.

In a nut shell this is a story of Hemingway's time in Paris in the 1920's as part of the Lost Generation.

I particularly enjoyed the chapters concerning F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda.

Another thing to note is how Hemingway already considered himself a great writer. I'm surprised at this since for the majority of the book he hadn't published The Sun Also Rises yet. Perhaps it's either Hemingway's notorious ego or that fact that this was written towards the end of his life.

Anyway, this is a good yet short read, check it out.

Bob LeBow 2007

This one's a little late, but my wife and I completed this years 35 mile Bob LeBow Bike Tour.

This was an important ride as it is the one we crashed in last year. It went pretty well all things considered. Amy was super nervous during the ride as it was her longest ride to date this year, not to mention the mental baggage from crashing last year.

Our next upcoming charity ride is the Tour De Boise. I'm not sure if we're riding the 15 or 30 mile route yet but I do hope it's fun.

First Camping Trip

Well our little family finally went on our first camping trip. We went up to a little spot along the North Fork of the Boise River just North of Idaho City.

Our girls had a blast. Their favorite parts were playing in the dirt and sleeping in their new sleeping bags. All of us can't wait till we can go again.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Here's an incredible story about following your dreams.

It's a simple story about a shepherd boy from Spain who travels to the pyramids in Egypt to find a buried treasure. Along the way he meets all sorts of different characters who help him along the way.

I really enjoyed this story. Part of its appeal is in its simplicity. The story never tries to be more than it really is unlike most current novels.

There's nothing really new or surprising in regards to the plot of finding ones dreams, but the beautiful way in which it is told will keep you enchanted.

Another must read.
