Books and other things

I like that Charlotte suggested some books to read. I would appreciate it if the others of you reading this would tell me about favorite books or books you are reading now. Alan and I are looking for a book club in the Kingsport area to join or start. If you know of any book clubs or would like to start one with us, let me know.

Wall of Pop, one of three bands that Alan is in, played at Machiavelli's in Bristol on Saturday. They had a nice crowd, and the music was fun to listen to. He will be there on Friday night (Jan. 22) with Houser and Company. The music starts at about 9:30. I think that you would enjoy the band. They do original music, as well as some good cover tunes. Machiavelli's is on 5th street, right around the corner from the Paramount.

We leave on Sunday for a week at the Isle of Palms, SC. Our friends Richard and Ruth rent a condo there for a month each winter, and invite folks to join them for a week. We are really looking forward to beach-walking, eating good seafood, exploring the area, and spending time with Richard and Ruth.
