resolutions review

first things first... for all of you interested brady's condition, if you've been keeping up with the comments you know that it is much improved. the latest i've heard is that he's awake and alert and in good spirits. the problem with his lungs appears to have been resolved. he's no longer in the intensive care unit nor is he on the respirator and has his own private room now. they are, however, worried about infections because of the removal of his spleen and the numerous surgeries that will be necessary in the next weeks and months.

please continue to pray. i have been greatly encouraged by how useful this website has been in spreading the word of his fall. i have been receiving comments, emails, and instant messages from people, literally, all over the world (china, switzerland, pittsburgh, etc.) who all say they're praying for him and thinking about him. its great to see the church come together in this way.

...

some of you may remember the new years resolutions i made this past year. well, i'm proud to say that i have finally accomplished one of them - and even that only partially. my goal, in expanding my appreciation for the history of rock and roll, was to purchase 5 beatles albums before buying any other music. while i have picked up numerous other albums along the way, i did get albums #4 and #5 at mckay books on saturday - the white album, and sargeant peppers lonely hearts club band. you can see my meager collection above.

i also picked up a copy of the chronicle's of narnia which i've been wanting to reread for a long time now. i had no idea you could get all seven books in one volume. should make for good travel reading this week.

speaking of good reading: a NY times editorial for those of you who love rock and roll and nick hornby.

tonight i head to atlanta and fly to denver in the morning...
