Clearly I am focused on other things. This happens.
My reading has been fairly light, haven't even had much time during lunch at work. That time has been taken up with relaxing and/or planning for my big hot dog event: Hot Dog Death March. I keep bringing "What Would Google Do" to work, but haven't cracked it in a few weeks.
I did purchase and start reading two new books.
The other book I got in that order was "Food Of A Younger Land -- A portrait of American food--before the national highway system, before chain restaurants, and before frozen food, when the nation's food was seasonal regional, and traditional--from the lost WPA files" by Mark Kurlansky. With our recent road trip to the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley and my love for all things Americana (ie road trips, diners, route 66) and history in general, I thought this would be fascinating. I look forward to it.
It also makes me think of a show that Alton Brown did a few years ago, "Feasting on Asphalt: the River Run" which was about traveling up the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border. I want to do that trip. Kurt warns me that there might not be so much healthy food along the way. Well, these are the sacrifices we make.
