Grisham Novel Reveiw

Playing For Pizza: A Novel Playing For Pizza: A Novel by John Grisham

My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars


I've always loved Grisham novels. I keep a worn copy of The Firm in my house, and will occasionally grab it and read 10 pages at random when I'm waiting for my slow computer to render something. I haven't been a fan of his non-legal books, however. A Painted House was just so much rambling, Bleachers was too much small town football, and The Innocent Man left me totally cold. So I have no idea why I picked this one up except I needed something for the plane.


Imagine my surprise to find that I actually enjoyed it. It's like a combination of The Broker and Bleachers. Even though I'm by no means a football fan, I could follow all of the play by play action that is marbled throughout this book.


The most interesting part for me, was the rich description of Italian food, history, and culture.


This is the story about a very self involved man finding humility in extreme adversity without being preachy in the least.


Very nice book.

Phrasing is everything

I love when people mis-speak. Mike likes to jokingly distance himself from me when I'm being particularly goofy. His favorite method is to indicate that he was adopted, or dropped off on the doorstep.

The other day, he meant to say he was the mailman's son... He looked into my eyes and deadpanned, "I'm the mailman's father."

He he held my gaze and cockily nodded his head to make his point, until I started laughing my butt off. Then he did a mental replay, and blushed 3 shades of red. "Shut Up!" he laughed.

I love my kids!

Latest Film Fest Entry

This is the my latest video. It was done in 24 hours for the "LDS Film Festival's 24 hour Marathon"

We were given the theme (Sacrifice), required element (a match), and the required line (Let me be your _____) at 10 am Friday morning, and had to have a finished 3 minute movie turned in at 10am Saturday morning.


Dusk!


We chose to mock Twilight. :-)

It's a Whole New Day

my brother Bob found a picture of my Chicago Tribune Ad on Flickr, so I decided to do my own search and see what turned up.
