The other day, when I picked up Ryan from school, I had to go by and pay his tuition. I was talking to the director of the program and she told me that kids these days aren't learning how to spell like I did when I was a kid. She said that since everything was computerized the kids just rely on spell check. I guess this is just another example of people getting lazier due to technology. Kind of like not having to actually get up to change the channel on the TV.This all got me thinking of how much I rely on technology. I hardly ever read any books anymore. The last book I read was "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom (the electricity was out during a thunderstorm). Now I just look up what I want to know on the computer. Even better is when I can learn something by watching the history channel. Hell, right now my two favorite shows on TV are the Tudors and John Adams, both of which are based on historical facts.
In order to set a good example for my son and to enrich my personal growth I am going to attempt to read a book from start to finish. Sounds easy enough, right? So does taking a shower but throw a vivacious toddler in the mix and see what happens. Since having Ryan I can now take a shower in 5 minutes flat! With this in mind I have chosen the book shown above. It looked like a fun and easy read. Who knows, maybe I'll remember how much I enjoy reading a good book.

Oh boy, that's my book so I sure hope you like it. I'm holding my breath. But, you seem cool so I think you'll get a few laughs. Although my new one is very good for the toddler stage which you seem to be in right now.
