Week off

I've been sick with a cold this week and am still fighting it off. My mind is a bit clouded, so I've decided to take a week off from the blog.

Anyone looking for some terrific writing should pick up this week's (Mar. 22, 2010) New Yorker and check out John McPhee's “Pioneer.” It's about the lacrosse match-up just last month between the University of Denver and Syracuse University. It's non-fiction writing at its very best. You can read a sample on the New Yorker's web site here: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/03/22/100322fa_fact_mcphee

I'll be back next week.
