BLOGGING: It's Tuesday, Where Are You?
We are having so much fun with our new Wii Fit that we finally found. As each person finds the games they like, they unlock new areas. I like the step class and the tilt table and am beginning to like the Yoga quite a bit too. Daughter likes running around the island and boxing, son is amazing at balance games and skiing - slalom and jumping. For me, it's good to start getting moving again and now that the snow is just about melted here, getting moving outside will hopefully become more of an option.
In reading, I am in Lebanon during the civil war and it is a dangerous place, partly because there are so many boys running around playing war with the grownups that you never know who will be a potential killer. War books are so sad at how they destroy the lives of the citizens just trying to make a living and get their supper ready. (DeNiro's Game, Rawi Hage)
Where is reading taking you today? Leave a comment, make a post, spread the word.
Here! At home now, but we are going away tomorrow.

Lebanon seems to be an unusual place to be in. Will check out that book.
ReplyDeleteI am in Stockholm
And gonna visit all the new places!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about DeNiro's Game.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading short stories this week, but the last one took me to Vancouver.
Where I am.
I'm currently in New Mexico, but we're working our way west along Route 66. My husband and I are both in our 80's. I've got terminal cancer and he's got alzheimers and doesn't know who I am part of the time. He can still drive though (as long as I handle the directions). We've pretty much run away from our kids and the doctors to take one last vacation together in our small RV.
ReplyDeleteThe Leisure Seeker by Michael Zadoorian
I'm in Ohio, and have a Tues. book teaser too....
ReplyDeleteIn Yorkshire, England in the 1950s. Everyone seems very brainy and talks about scientific and arty things in a way that only happens in novels.
ReplyDeleteThe Virgin in the Garden, A.S Byatt
Sounds like you're in a desperate place this week.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: http://storytimewithtonya.blogspot.com/2009/04/where-are-you-and-teaser-power-of-one.html
I'm over here.
ReplyDeleteI have been playing Wii sports and today started the wii fit. I am 44 but it says my fit age is 39 even though I am way overweight. I did the yoga and tried strength training. Will do a little every day.
ReplyDelete1. I'm in PEI with Rilla and her war baby in a soup tureen;
ReplyDelete2. I'm in Mississippi, taking apart my moonshine still;
3. I've just sold my business and I'm on my way to Europe by ship with my high-maintenance wife.
I am in Oklahama, having just been Marked and starting in House of Night Vampyre Finishing School (Marked by PC Cast and Kristin Cast.
ReplyDeleteI am also in China (I think). I have only just read a few pages of Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon.
I'm trapped in ice in the Arctic. But in the book I'm reading... oh wait, that is the book I'm reading. Sigh. Dan Simmons' The Terror.
ReplyDeleteCould be worse. Could be in a Lebanese civil war.
I've given you an award here:
